Question: Were Robert Coover and Rómulo Gallegos both American's?
Context: Cantaclaro is a 1946 Mexican drama film directed by Julio Bracho and starring Esther Fernandez, Antonio Badú and Alberto Galán.  The film is based on a novel of the same name by Rómulo Gallegos.  It was part of a spate of film adaptations of Gallegos' novels following success of "Doña Bárbara" (1943).  The film's sets were designed by the art director Jesús Bracho. Robert Lowell Coover (born February 4, 1932) is an American novelist, short story writer, and T.B. Stowell Professor Emeritus in Literary Arts at Brown University.  He is generally considered a writer of fabulation and metafiction. The Rómulo Gallegos Municipality is one of the seven municipalities (municipios) that makes up the Venezuelan state of Apure and, according to the 2011 census by the National Institute of Statistics of Venezuela, the municipality has a population of 24,418.  The town of Elorza is the shire town of the Rómulo Gallegos Municipality.  The municipality is one of a number in Venezuela named "Rómulo Gallegos Municipality", in honour of the writer Rómulo Gallegos. The 1945 Venezuelan coup d'état took place on 18 October 1945, when the dictator Isaías Medina Angarita was overthrown by a combination of a military rebellion and a popular movement led by Democratic Action.  The coup led to a three-year period of government known as El Trienio Adeco, which saw the first democratic elections in Venezuelan history, beginning with the Venezuelan Constituent Assembly election, 1946.  The Venezuelan general election, 1947 saw Democratic Action formally elected to office (with Rómulo Gallegos as President, replacing interim President Rómulo Betancourt), but it was removed from office shortly after in the 1948 Venezuelan coup d'état. The 1948 Venezuelan coup d'état took place on 24 November 1948, when Carlos Delgado Chalbaud, Marcos Pérez Jiménez and Luis Felipe Llovera Páez overthrew the elected president Rómulo Gallegos.  Gallegos had been elected in the Venezuelan presidential election, 1947 (generally believed to be the country's first honest election) and taken office in February 1948.  Chalbaud had been Gallegos' Minister of Defense.  Democracy would not be restored until the 1958 Venezuelan coup d'état overthrew the dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez. Rómulo Ángel del Monte Carmelo Gallegos Freire (2 August 1884 – 5 April 1969) was a Venezuelan novelist and politician.  For a period of some nine months during 1948, he was the first cleanly elected president in his country's history. The Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize (Spanish: "Premio internacional de novela Rómulo Gallegos" ) was created on 6 August 1964 by a presidential decree enacted by Venezuelan president Raúl Leoni, in honor of the Venezuelan politician and President Rómulo Gallegos, the author of "Doña Bárbara". The Rómulo Gallegos Municipality is one of the nine municipalities (municipios) that makes up the Venezuelan state of Cojedes and, according to the 2011 census by the National Institute of Statistics of Venezuela, the municipality has a population of 18,297.  The town of Las Vegas is the shire town of the Rómulo Gallegos Municipality.  The municipality is one of a number in Venezuela named "Rómulo Gallegos Municipality", in honour of the writer Rómulo Gallegos. Rómulo Gallegos Center for Latin American Studies (CELARG, "Fundación Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos Rómulo Gallegos"), is a Venezuelan government foundation that aims to study and promote Latin American culture, with emphasis on the life and work of Rómulo Gallegos.  It was established on July 30, 1974. Gerald's Party is the fourth full-length novel written by Robert Coover, published in 1986.  The book encompasses a single night at a party given by the title character and narrator, Gerald.  Though the murder of a beautiful actress is central to the plot, Coover's text has little in common with a traditional murder mystery.  He appears to be approaching the murder mystery genre with the goal of subverting/exhausting its possibilities.  A comparable strategy can be seen in his retellings of fairy tales (see Briar Rose, Pricksongs), and his reframing of movie conventions (Ghost Town, A Night at the Movies).  Like Coover's other later works, this is experimental fiction.  The text regularly returns to themes of sex, violence, and a blurred boundary between theatre and reality.
