Football and Literature in South America
South America is a region that enjoys an unusually high profile as the origin of some of the world’s greatest writers and most celebrated footballers. This is the first book to undertake a systematic study of the relationship between football and literature across South America. Beginning with the first football poem published in 1899, it surveys a range of texts that address key issues in the region’s social and political history. Drawing on a substantial corpus of short stories, novels and poems, each chapter considers the shifting relationship between football and literature in South America across more than a century of writing. The way in which authors combine football and literature to challenge the dominant narratives of their time suggests that this sport can be seen as a recurring theme through which matters of identity, nationhood, race, gender, violence, politics and aesthetics are played out. This book is fascinating reading for any student, scholar or serious fan of football, as well as for all those interested in the relationship between sports history, literature and society.

Vigil
Vigil is an eloquent and elegant story in poems, told from the afterlife by dead teenagers who were victims of a school shooting. Like Edgar Lee Masters’s Spoon River Anthology, Bevins’s poems give voice to the souls who can no longer speak for themselves. The afterlife for this bunch of teenagers, as it turns out, is full of gossip and idle chatter, not unlike the school halls they wandered in life. Even from the beyond, they have the same wishes, fears, hopes, and dreams as those they left behind. Vigil is a poetic condemnation of the gun violence that plagues the United States, but it is also a celebration of life.

De los triunfos morales al país ganador
No trata solamente de una selección de fútbol, de sus protagonistas y de los medios de prensa que la cubrieron, sino que es una historia que aspira al cruce de lo social, lo político, lo económico y también lo cultural. Se trata de un documentado e interesante relato que se nutre de pasiones y emociones, pero que además analiza, con gran lucidez, aquello que define al Chile que nació de la revolución capitalista de la década de los años 70 y 80: la aspiración de ganar, de sentirse triunfadores, de levantar una copa internacional aunque para ello se recurriera alguna vez a la trampa y al engaño
