The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel Summary

The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel by Juan E. De Castro (Professor of Literary Studies, Professor of Literary Studies, Eugene Lang College, The New School)

The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. Garcia Marquez 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 Garcia Marquez, 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 Bolano to the works of Cesar Aira and Chico Buarque, to those of younger novelists such as Juan Gabriel Vasquez, Alejandro Zambra, and Valeria Luiselli. Yet, for many readers, the Latin American novel is often read in a piecemeal manner delinked from the traditions, authors, and social contexts that help explain its evolution. The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel draws literary, historical, and social connections so that readers will come away understanding this literature as a rich and compelling canon. In forty-five chapters by leading and innovative scholars, the Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction, helping readers to see the region's intrinsic heterogeneity--for only with a broader view can one fully appreciate Garcia Marquez or Bolano. This volume charts the literary tradition of the Latin American novel from its beginnings during colonial times, its development during the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, and its flourishing from the 1960s onward. Furthermore, the Handbook explores the regions, representations of identity, narrative trends, and authors that make this literature so diverse and fascinating, reflecting on the Latin American novel's position in world literature.

The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel Reviews

The reader will basically have in their hands a contemporary master's degree education, in the Latin American novel. Valuable writers who have been marginalized by racism, sexism, classism, etc., are included and studied alongside the most famous names. Almost any novel of importance can be found in the index, and it is studied from diverse angles in the various chapters. The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel will occupy an important place on the shelves of books in English on Latin American literature and it will be the starting point [for those] interested with staying up to date with literary discussions about the Latin American novel in the future. * George Carlsen, Visitas al Patio *
A comprehensive volume like The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel makes details granular, adding urgency to criticizing group thinking. * Will H. Corral, World Literature Today *
