Addressing the question of why many Latin American fiction authors
are writing about Nazism, the Second World War and the Holocaust
now, this book charts the evolution of Latin American literary
production from the 19th Century, through the late 20th century
'Boom', to the present day. Containing texts from Mexico, Colombia,
Brazil, Argentina and Chile, it analyses work by some of the most
well-known contemporary writers including Roberto Bolano, Juan
Gabriel Vasquez, Jorge Volpi, Lucia Puenzo, Patricio Pron and
Michel Laub; as well as notable precursors such as Jorge Luis
Borges, Carlos Fuentes and Ricardo Piglia. Nazism, the Second World
War and the Holocaust in Contemporary Latin American Fiction argues
that these authors find Nazism relevant to thinking through some of
the most urgent contemporary challenges we face: from racism, to
the unequal division of wealth and labour between the Global
'North' and 'South'; and, of course, the general failure of
democracy to eliminate fascism.
