For Latin American literature of the second half of the 20th century, critics have proposed such labels as new novel and new new novel, boom and post-boom, women's literature, testimonial, postmodern literature, and the like. Given the fact that none of these designations is entirely satisfactory for fully charting the complex map of literary phenomena, this volume features an arrangement based on the birthdate of the writers represented, with an emphasis on individuals who have transcended the boundaries of national literatures and achieved a certain international recognition.
