Que Loco Eres, Puerto Loco—in Spanish

In this program, author Antonio Skármeta interviews Chilean writers Isabel Allende and Volodia Teitelboim, who share their stories about the port of Valparaiso and the legend of the bandit Joaquín Murieta—inspirations for arguably their best works. The program also studies the literary history of Temuco, the home of Pablo Neruda. Lively presentations of Neruda’s "Yap Arte el Galgo Terrible" and other well-known verse reinforce how Valparaiso and Temuco played an integral part in their creation. Writer Gabriel Castro is also featured. An engaging look at literature through the lens of location. A Discovery Channel Production. (Spanish, 25 minutes)
