Folders 1-6 contain material regarding The Obscene Bird of the Night. Donoso briefly described each folder as to its content, and these notes are transcribed here and shown in italic. The folders contain typescripts, some with comments and/or corrections. Donoso worked by clipping pieces from copied versions and incorporating them in later drafts. These pieces are referred to here “clipped fragments”. Within each folder, the material has been organized by chronological and thematic criteria by Gonzalo Campos-Dintrans in July 2007. See also detailed descriptions of Notebooks 15-32.
