Memoria de la escritura
Es usual que las memorias se escriban en primera persona del singular y que se ciñan a la vida de quien las escribe y a lo sucedido. Este texto se acomoda parcialmente a tal género porque, además de recuerdos personales, contiene crónica histórica, novela de formación y artificio literario. Está escrito en segunda persona creando una tensión entre quien lleva la voz narrativa y quien vivió. La vida se vive en presente, en forma secuencial, cada instante una sola vez, siempre hacia delante y no se puede modificar lo ya vivido. Quien lleva la voz narrativa y es responsable de la escritura, por el contrario, siempre puede corregir y organizar secuencias buscando efectos estéticos o intereses particulares. Puede, además, callar, sobrepujar, seleccionar o complementar. Por eso, más que el relato de una vida, ofrecemos aquí una reflexión sobre los procesos de escritura y sobre la profesión de escritor. En el trasfondo, como elemento imprescindible de la vida de las personas, esbozamos la realidad histórica colombiana de buena parte del siglo XX y algunos años del XXI. – Álvaro Pineda Botero

The Colombian Novel, 1844-1987
Novels such as One Hundred Years of Solitude have awakened English-language readers to the existence of Colombian literature in recent years, but Colombia has a well-established literary tradition that far predates the Latin American "boom." In this pathfinding study, Raymond Leslie Williams provides an overview of seventeen major authors and more than one hundred works spanning the years 1844 to 1987. After an introductory discussion of Colombian regionalism and novelistic development, Williams considers the novels produced in Colombia's four semi-autonomous regions. The Interior Highland Region is represented by novels ranging from Eugenio Díaz' Manuela to Eduardo Caballero Calderón's El...

Latin America's New Historical Novel
Beginning with the 1979 publication of Alejo Carpentier's El arpa y la sombra, the New Historical Novel has become the dominant genre within Latin American fiction. In this at-times tongue-in-cheek postmodern study, Seymour Menton explores why the New Historical Novel has achieved such popularity and offers discerning readings of numerous works. Menton argues persuasively that the proximity of the Columbus Quincentennial triggered the rise of the New Historical Novel. After defining the historical novel in general, he identifies the distinguishing features of the New Historical Novel. Individual chapters delve deeply into such major works as Mario Vargas Llosa's La guerra del fin del mundo, Abel Posse's Los perros del paraíso, Gabriel García Márquez's El general en su laberinto, and Carlos Fuentes' La campaña. A chapter on the Jewish Latin American novel focuses on several works that deserve greater recognition, such as Pedro Orgambide's Aventuras de Edmund Ziller en tierras del Nuevo Mundo, Moacyr Scliar's A estranha nação de Rafael Mendes, and Angelina Muñiz's Tierra adentro.
