Abstract
Diego Zúñiga’s 2014 novel Racimo, or Cluster, centers around the true story of a series of disappearances and possible femicides that occurred in Alto Hospicio, Chile throughout the 1990s. This story is renown in Chile and has become emblematic of the legacy of violence, mistrust, and neglect that continues to predominate in Chilean society. This English-language translation of Racimo is non-sequential and as such, reflects the overall architecture of this novel. The accompanying Paratext and Translator’s Note explore the environmental narratives embedded in this text, as well as the theoretical and practical issues concerning its translation.
