In the 1960s, there occurred amongst Latin American writers a
sudden explosion of literary activity known as the 'Boom'. It
marked an increase in the production and availability of innovative
and experimental novels. But the 'Boom' of the 1960s should not be
taken as the only flowering of Latin American fiction, for such
novels dubbed 'new novels' were being written in the 1940s and
1950s, as well as in the 1970s and 1980s. In this edited
collection, first published in 1990, Philip Swanson charts the
development of Latin American fiction throughout the twentieth
century. He assesses the impact of the 'new novel' on Latin
American literature, and follows its growth. Nine key texts are
analysed by contributors, including works by the 'big four' of the
'Boom' - Fuentes, Cortazar, Garcia Marquez and Vargas Llosa. This
book will be of interest to critics and teachers of Latin American
literature, and will be useful too as supplementary reading for
students of Spanish and Hispanic Studies. It will also serve as a
helpful introduction to those new to Latin American fiction.
