Book Description
Las novelas analizadas en el desarrollo de esta investigacion, Mala noche (2003) del escritor colombiano Jorge Franco y Scorpio city (2002) del tambien colombiano Mario Mendoza, corresponden a lo que se ha denominado la nueva literatura colombiana o narrativa del post-boom, categoria bajo la cual se pretende incluir la variada gama de escritores colombianos que han puesto a la luz del publico sus obras en los ultimos 10 o 15 anos. No obstante esta clasificacion puede resultar limitante para los alcances de una narrativa que ha sido motivada por todo tipo de temas, problemas de orden social, hechos historicos, procesos creativos y demas formas de inspiracion, que las hacen disimiles tanto en su contenido como en su calidad. Este estudio a lo largo de los tres capitulos planteados, propone un acercamiento en aspectos relevantes como la modernidad, la posmodernidad, el campo literario, la relacion autor, texto, contexto y los aspectos propios de la novela posmoderna, los cuales se encaran desde el tratamiento que cada uno de los autores hace de los temas problematizados en su obra.

Book Description
In my analysis of six contemporary Colombian novels of violence ( Satanas and Cobro de sangre by Mario Mendoza; Noticia de un secuestro by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, La multitud errante by Laura Restrepo, Rosario Tijeras by Jorge Franco and La virgen de los sicarios by Fernando Vallejo), I foreground the different strains of melodrama the authors use to make the phenomenon of violence intelligible. I also analyze the sociohistorical solutions these novels propose and, considering the incredible publishing success some of them have had, what this suggests in reference to the Colombian imaginaries and their attitudes regarding the State and the Colombian violence. By reading these texts through this unstudied perspective, I bring into focus a new way to read some of the contemporary Colombian novels.

Book Description
Novels such as One Hundred Years of Solitude have awakened English-language readers to the existence of Colombian literature in recent years, but Colombia has a well-established literary tradition that far predates the Latin American "boom." In this pathfinding study, Raymond Leslie Williams provides an overview of seventeen major authors and more than one hundred works spanning the years 1844 to 1987. After an introductory discussion of Colombian regionalism and novelistic development, Williams considers the novels produced in Colombia's four semi-autonomous regions. The Interior Highland Region is represented by novels ranging from Eugenio Díaz' Manuela to Eduardo Caballero Calderón's El buen salvaje. The Costa Region is represented by Juan José Nieto's Ingermina to Alvaro Cepeda Samudio's La casa grande and Gabriel García Márquez' Cien años de soledad; the Greater Antioquian Region by Tomás Carrasquilla's Frutos de mi tierra to Manuel Mejía Vallejo's El día señalado; and the Greater Cauca Region by Jorge Isaacs' Maria to Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazábal's El bazar de los idiotas. A discussion of the modern and postmodern novel concludes the study, with special consideration given to the works of García Márquez and Moreno-Durán. Written in a style accessible to a wide audience, The Colombian Novel will be a foundational work for all students of Colombian culture and Latin American literature.

Book Description
The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel provides an accessible introduction to an important World literature. While many of the authors covered-Aira, Bolaño, Castellanos Moya, Vásquez-are gaining an increasing readership in English and are frequently taught, there is sparse criticism in English beyond book reviews. This book provides the guidance necessary for a more sophisticated and contextualized understanding of these authors and their works. Underestimated or unfamiliar Spanish American novels and novelists are introduced through conceptually rigorous essays. Sections on each writer include: *the author's reception in their native country, Spanish America, and Spain *biographical history *a critical examination of their work, including key themes and conceptual concerns *translation history *scholarly reception The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel offers an authoritative guide to a rich and varied novelistic tradition. It covers all demographic areas, including United States Latino authors, in exploring the diversity of this literature and its major themes, such as exile, migration, and gender representation.

Book Description
In recent decades, the international recognition of Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez has placed Colombian writing on the global literary map. A History of Colombian Literature explores the genealogy of Colombian poetry and prose from the colonial period to the present day. Beginning with a comprehensive introduction that charts the development of a national literary tradition, this History includes extensive essays that illuminate the cultural and political intricacies of Colombian literature. Organized thematically, these essays survey the multilayered verse and fiction of such diverse writers as José Eustacio Rivera, Tomás Carrasquilla, Alvaro Mutis, and Darío Jaramillo Agudelo. Written by a host of leading scholars, this History also devotes special attention to the lasting significance of colonialism and multiculturalism in Colombian literature. This book is of pivotal importance to the development of Colombian writing and will serve as an invaluable reference for specialists and students alike.
