"Our Writers" is a famous collection of literary criticism in Latin America and an important testimony to the "literary explosion". It fully demonstrates that high-level literary criticism must be accompanied by prosperous literary creation.

In 1964, in search of the "most typical" Latin American novelist, Chilean literary critic Luis Has embarked on a lengthy journey. He interviewed ten representatives, held lengthy face-to-face conversations with them, and documented their literary reflections and mental journeys. He didn't set out to predict the future, but through this journey, he effectively established the canon and set the tone for a literary phenomenon that would change history: the "literary bombing."

These ten writers were: Carpentier, Asturias, Borges, Guimarães Rosa, Onetti, Cortázar, Rulfo, Fuentes, García Márquez, and Vargas Llosa. At the time, few of them had achieved international renown; One Hundred Years of Solitude had yet to be published, and the youngest was only twenty-eight. Yet, in the decades that followed, these ten writers would produce three Nobel Prize winners, five Cervantes Prize winners, and three Gallegos Prize winners. History has ultimately vindicated Haas's foresight, making them truly worthy of the title "Ten Saints of Latin American Literature."
