Here’s more from his BBC obituary: “Rojas was forced into exile for some years after the 1973 military coup led by Gen Augusto Pinochet. Rojas had been in a serious condition since suffering a stroke in February. His death was a ‘great loss for Chilean literature,’ Education Minister Joaquin Lavin said.”
