This course will examine the novels that bring international prestige to Latin American authors for the first time. In the 1960s a generation of novelists from various Spanish-speaking countries draws on their readings of Faulkner, James, Dos Passos, Hemingway, Camus, Sartre, Joyce, Woolf, Breton, Proust and Flaubert to produce a new novel which engages and renovates European and North American literary forms and revolutionizes Latin American literary production. They do so by weaving aesthetic and ideological themes into the design of a cultural utopia in which the aesthetic and political revolutions (with Cuba as their historical backdrop) become closely identified.
