Pinochet's tyrannical regime in Chile 1973-90 and Argentina's military junta 1976-83 molded the countries and imposed rigid rules that dehumanized their citizens, argues Wirshing (literature and composition, Miami Dade College), and now people are trying to recover by coming to terms with the past. She examines the traumatic experiences of the countries under authoritarian regimes as portrayed by four authors: wounds of humanity in Diamela Eltit's The Sacred Cow and The Fourth World, Ricardo Piglia unearthing oppressed memories in The Absent City, Ariel Dorman's Death and the Maiden as testimonial theater of the paranoid, and Griselda Gambaro's heiress of shame and bride to freedom in Antígona Furiosa.
