Las cartas del Boom

Las cartas del Boom

Cortázar, Julio
Fuentes, Carlos
García Márquez, Gabriel
Vargas Llosa, Mario

This book brings together, for the first time, the correspondence between the four main novelists of the Latin American Boom: Cortázar, Fuentes, García Márquez and Vargas Llosa. The last two received the Nobel Prize, and the first two deserved it; no one would have been surprised if they had won it. This conversation between four brilliant and successful friends offers us unprecedented access to their personal and collective relationships, with all their encounters and misunderstandings, and opens a privileged window on Latin American literature and politics, especially during a crucial period in its modern history, between 1959 and 1975. "Las cartas del Boom" narrates the peak of this quartet, when the creators seemed to start writing less alone to play together as part of the same literature, and delves into this recognition and regeneration of a common past. To find four great writers in an almost unparalleled historical context, communicating over several years to discuss novels, literature, Latin American history, their own biographies and the dynamics of their ideas within that context, is absolutely unique. The pages of this book tell that story.
