The Novel of a Continent
Tomás Eloy Martínez, Biography and the Boom
This article places Tomás Eloy Martínez's work, in particular his two 'biographical' novels La novela de Perón and Santa Evita, within post-1960 Latin American literature. It explains why Martínez's full critical recognition is still pending. To this end the article shows how, situated strategically between the 1960s 'Boom' novels and the 'Post-Boom' novels of the 1970s and beyond, Martínez's novels assimilate lessons of the Boom to carry that wo…
A Cultural History of Latin America
The Cambridge History of Latin America is a large scale, collaborative, multi-volume history of Latin America during the five centuries from the first contacts between Europeans and the native peoples of the Americas in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries to the present.

These thoughtfully assembled writings by many of Latin America's finest authors bear first-person witness to the personal, social, and political situation of the writer and of literature in Latin America. At different times ironic, impassioned, humorous, reflective, autobiographical, polemical, and always vivid and engaging, this collection of writings is indispensable to a full appreciation of the achievement of twentieth-century Latin American …

Boom, Yes; 'New' Novel, No
No cultural phenomenon of the 1960s did more than the apparent explosion of creativity in the Spanish American novel to bring Latin America to international attention. It is no exaggeration to state that if the Southern continent was known for two things above all others in the 1960s, these were, first and foremost, the Cuban Revolution and its impact both on Latin America and the Third World generally, and secondly, the boom in Latin American fi…
On Dictatorship and Rhetoric in Latin American Writing
Roberto González Echevarría's recent article in LARR, "The Dictatorship of Rhetoric/The Rhetoric of Dictatorship: Carpentier, García Márquez and Roa Bastos," though elegantly written and full of ideas, seems to me to have confused almost every issue it raises and to have evaded other equally important issues rather than confront them. The persistent, largely unspoken promise of his text is that it will illuminate both history and literature by se…
Mulata de tal
MIGUEL Angel Asturias' Mulata de tal (1963) is what Spanish1 speaking critics are given to calling a novela-hiperbole, and it must be treated as such. No respectable critical approach to this novel has yet been found, which is partly why so little has been written about it, and yet its intrinsic interest and its importance for an understanding of Asturias' literary development are unmistakable. No critic has made any serious effort to discuss the…
