Description
Despite the differences—and indeed, in their favor—Latin American writing styles have borne the imprint of Jorge Luis Borges since the mid-20th century. This book captures the brilliance he infused into the Spanish language in authors such as Guillermo Cabrera Infante, José Lezama Lima, Elena Garro, Salvador Elizondo, Octavio Paz, Severo Sarduy, Antonio Di Benedetto, Silvina Ocampo, Gabriel García Márquez, César Aira, and Néstor Sánchez, among others. A Brief Argentine History of Latin American Literature (Starting with Borges) compiles the lectures Luis Chitarroni gave at the Malba Museum in 2016, as part of the museum's 15th anniversary celebrations.
This book is part of the Notebooks Collection , an initiative of Malba Literatura to disseminate its rich archive of courses and seminars taught by leading academics and writers. The editing of each volume in this collection has allowed the authors to revisit the topics covered and add supplementary materials, striving to maintain the warmth and spontaneity of the lectures that inspired them.
