Title: La gran novela latinoamericana
Description: "In this essay, Carlos Fuentes proposes an exciting journey through the evolution of the Latin American novelan expedition that spans over six centuries, from the discovery of the Americas to this day. Those who embark on this trip will come across the greatest Latin American literary figures, their constant themes, and the penchant to cannibalize and carnivalize history to create literary and artistic forms that come together paying no regard to rules or genres. An authoritative work of reference and study, the essay covers names such as Borges, Neruda, Cortazar, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Sandoval, Zapata, Gorostiza, and Lezama Lima."--Amazon.com.
