El problema / La caída del águila
En el marco de la celebración del Bicentenario de la Independencia de Centroamérica, la reedición de las novelas El problema (1899) del guatemalteco Máximo Soto Hall y La caída del águila (1920) del costarricense Carlos Gagini, busca motivar la reflexión sobre las avenidas imaginadas con respecto al futuro de la región.
Breve historia de la literatura costarricense
El autor nos ofrece de manera ágil, amena, y sin embargo completa, este recorrido por cien años de literatura costarricense. Brevedad solo indica aquí conocimiento pleno de la materia y claridad en la búsqueda de lo esencial. En esta obra corta, el autor presenta a manera de ensayo, no un catálogo o listado de autores y textos costarricenses, sino un análisis historiográfico de la literatura de este país, contextualizado con datos y apreciaciones del entorno político, social y cultural de las distintas épocas.

Central American Avant-Garde Narrative: Literary Innovation and Cultural Change (1926-1936)
This book is in the Cambria Studies in Latin American Literatures and Cultures Series (General editor: Román de la Campa, University of Pennsylvania). "Central American Avant-Garde Narrative is an exemplary work of literary criticism that re-envisions the canon of Central American literature and is destined to set a new standard for ethical, comprehensive research. Specialists and students, after reading this work, will have a clear understanding as to why prose fiction by certain lesser-known writers (Max Jiménez, Flavio Herrera and Rogelio Sinán) from this region needs to be rescued from oblivion and, concomitantly, why stories and novels by one of Hispanic America's most accomplished a...
