Re-mapping World Literature
How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological cros...
Dude Lit
How did men become the stars of the Mexican intellectual scene? Dude Lit examines the tricks of the trade and reveals that sometimes literary genius rests on privileges that men extend one another and that women permit. The makings of the “best” writers have to do with superficial aspects, like conformist wardrobes and unsmiling expressions, and more complex techniques, such as friendship networks, prizewinners who become judges, dropouts who become teachers, and the key tactic of being allowed to shift roles from rule maker (the civilizado) to rule breaker (the bárbaro). Certain writing habits also predict success, with the “high and hard” category reserved for men’s writing and ...
The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...

Todos santos de California
Los caminos y los modos del narcotráfico violentan comunidades y paisajes que en estas páginas se describen como una geografía singular: veredas sinaloenses recorridas por ambiciones y tragedias personales, universitarios que enfrentan sus dilemas de existencia en un medio amenazante, aguas navegadas por embarcaciones con carga clandestina, avionetas piloteadas por delincuentes, choferes al servicio de capos y bandas. Las ciudades y los pueblos comprendidos en el triángulo de aventura y fatalidad aquí recreado —Sinaloa, Tijuana, Los Cabos— sirven de escenario a historias cifradas con precisión, y los personajes y situaciones que en ellas se repiten nos llevan a reconstruir un solo relato y a comprender la doble moral, las paradojas y la disparidad de las sociedades en las que reina la narcodelincuencia.
México20
To celebrate the Year of Mexico in the UK and the Year of the UK in Mexico in 2015, Hay Festival, the British Council and Conaculta have joined forces to bring twenty young Mexican writers under the age of forty, paired with twenty British translators, to an international readership. Broken families, a man in a birdcage, a lone swimmer these stories betray a quest for the self when the feeling of loss pervades. Pushkin Press is proud to present these vibrant and moving narratives from modern Mexico. Adding to the already vast literary tradition of their country with brave new styles, the writers capture an era of shifting boundaries and growing violence, where Mexico s rapid modernization is often felt to be at the cost of its artistic heritage. Contributors are: Juan Pablo Anaya Gerardo Arana Nicolás Cabral Verónica Gerber Pergentino José Laia Jufresa Luis Felipe Lomelí Brenda Lozano Valeria Luiselli Fernanda Melchor Emiliano Monge Eduardo Montagner Anguiano Antonio Ortuño Eduardo Rabasa Antonio Ramos Revillas Eduardo Ruiz Sosa Daniel Saldaña Ximena Sánchez Echenique Carlos Velázquez Nadia Villafuerte
