"A Turbulent Decade Remembered" studies the 1960s--the continental
moment that marked Latin America's full entry into both modernity
and post-modernity in the international arena. Delving into scenes
of importance for the intersection of aesthetics and politics, the
book addresses the impact of the Cuban Revolution on the
imagination of the decade, the student movements of 1968 in their
international context, and the tragic events of Tlatelolco,
memorialized in different ways by Mexico's greatest intellectuals.
In examining the construction of the great novels usually
identified as the "Boom," the book revises the critical tradition
established since the late sixties, rethinking the oft-cited
"magical realism," while considering the role of the press, prizes,
gendered networks of solidarity and competition, and the emergence
of a literary star system. The implications of all these forces of
the republic of letters are set in dialogue with an analysis of the
major novels of the decade, with particular attention to their
literary craft, their manipulation of space, voice, and varied
readerships.
