Latin American Mystery Writers

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Latin America has a rich literary tradition that is receiving growing amounts of attention. The body of Latin American mystery writing is especially vast and diverse. Because it is part of Latin American popular culture, it also reflects many of the social and cultural concerns of that region. This reference provides an overview of mystery fiction of Latin America. While many of the authors profiled have received critical attention, others have been relatively neglected. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 54 writers, most of whom are from Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba. Every effort has been made to include balanced coverage of the few female mystery writers. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and includes a brief biography, a critical discussion of the writer's works, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume closes with a general bibliography of anthologies and criticism.

Selfi americano
Author: Curtis Bauer
Publisher: Vaso Roto Ediciones
ISBN: 8412488261
Category : Poetry
Languages : es
Pages : 226
Book Description
Con un epígrafe de Sõren Kierkegaard inicia Curtis Bauer su poemario: «El mayor de todos los peligros, perderse a sí mismo, puede ocurrir inadvertidamente en el mundo, como si no fuera nada». Y es que para este poeta el peligro yace en la distracción, en no darse cuenta. Por eso regresa a lo ido, a un pasado que requiere ser revisitado. América, las distintas américas que conforman el universo de Bauer, se nos presenta en una crudeza llevada a la abstracción. Máquinas, manchas de petróleo, mares de tierra, salamandras, un mundo con atisbos de esperanza y su olor a jazmín. Aquí hay estaciones de una edad a la que Bauer regresa y se pregunta si la belleza es, si la justicia es, si la niña es, si el amor es, y si lo que muestra es lo que nos mantiene asidos a la patria.
