基本説明
Takes a fascinating look at the peculiar role of Paris as a key location in the Latin American literary lansdscape.
Full Description
Because of political, cultural, or economic difficulties in their homelands, Latin American writers have often sought refuge abroad. Their independent searches for a haven in which to write often ended in Paris, long a city of writes in exile. This is more than solely a group biography of these writers or an explication of material they wrote about Paris; it is also a luminous account of the work they wrote while in Paris, often based in their homelands. It explores how Paris reacted to this wave of Latin American writers and how these writers absorbed Parisian influences and welded them to their own traditions setting the stage for immense success and power of works coming from Central and South America over the last half of the twentieth century.
