Dugsan Noyor was born in Santiago in 1964, the son of a junior minister serving in the government of president, Salvador Allende. Following the military takeover in 1973 by General Pinochet, he, along with his mother and younger sister, were forced to flee and sought asylum in Britain. The fate of his father remains unknown, and it is assumed he was murdered along with thousands of civilians opposed to dictatorship. Dugsan won a scholarship at age thirteen and received a private education. He has spent his working life as an importer of South American wines and lives near Chepstow with his wife, Marin. They have three daughters.
It is a woman's world and has been for over two centuries. Millenia of patriarchal prejudice has been swept away.
