De Gabo a Mario: La estirpe del boom

Douban

NeoDB

The 1960s "literary explosion" of narrative literature in Spanish-speaking America launched Latin American literature into the global spotlight. This explosion brought to the fore highly creative writers like Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, José Donoso, and Julio Cortázar, along with literary editors and agents like Carlos Barral and Carmen Baselés.

With his journalistic insight and vivid writing, the author sorts out the important moments of the beginning, climax and end of the "literary boom", showing the profound roots between the "literary boom" and the Cuban Revolution, the inseparable connection between literature and politics, the vivid daily interactions between Latin American writers, and the whole process of the two leaders of the "literary boom", Marquez and Vargas Llosa, from mutual appreciation to estrangement until death.

This book attempts to examine that period of history from various perspectives. To this end, the author interviewed the authors, their friends, and those who shared their experiences. The book also draws on publications, correspondence between the authors, and personal testimonials, among other sources. Much of this material is newly discovered or has never been published before.
