Lemebel is best known in Chile and in the Spanish-speaking world for his Chronicles, published in the press in 1991 then in book form in 1995, of which we can cite the following titles: Loco afán: Crónicas del sidario (1996), De perlas y cicatrices (1998) or Zanjón de la Aguada (2003). It was all the more unfortunate that Lemebel’s fictional writing only constitutes a very minor part of his literary works – not to mention his artistic output within the collective Las Yeguas del Apocalipsis (Mares of the Apocalypse). We can hardly fall back on the (partial) online publications of his now famous queer poem, “ Manifiesto (Hablo por mi diferencia)”. From the Chilean author Pedro Lemebel (1952-2015), French readers know only one novel, Tengo miedo torero, published in 2001 in Chile and then in 2004 in France.
