Description: "Covers period dominated by the boom in the novel, in which all other genres and authors were eclipsed by a handful of novels. Restores many important texts and key aspects of Latin American culture to their rightful place. One of the singularities of this book is that it includes publications that would not be classified in a traditional canon of essay. Enriches the corpus of an already heterogeneous literature. Some authors studied are Paz, Vargas Llosa, Fuentes, Cortazar, and García Márquez. Work is well written and clearly conceptualized. Required consultation for the period and the essay"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
