Description

This book provides a rich and cutting-edge analysis of one of the most prominent literary groups in Latin America: the Mexican Crack Writers. The first part explores the history of the group and its relation to the Latin American literary tradition, while the second part is devoted to the critical analysis of the works of each of the authors: Ricardo Chávez Castañeda, Ignacio Padilla, Pedro Ángel Palou, Eloy Urroz and Jorge Volpi. The volume is further enriched by the inclusion, in the appendix, of the two manifestos of the group: the Crack Manifesto and the Crack Postmanifesto (1996-2016). It will be of great interest to students and scholars focusing on contemporary Latin American literature. Review “This fine collection of essays on the Mexican Crack that revolutionized Latin American literature invites us to analyze the birth of a new literary era, conceived in the midst of neoliberalism and globalization. This timely study of this generation’s literary production revisits key concepts related to identity and literary influence, innovative writing techniques, literary field, and spatial shifts. A rich cartography of critical and theoretical approaches that sheds light on contemporary Mexican literature and culture.” (Oswaldo Estrada, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA) “A long overdue single-volume analysis of the Mexican “Crack” phenomenon, the essays included aptly contextualize the poetics and themes of the Crack writers, as well as offering both the group’s manifesto and “post manifesto”. A required reading for all those interested in the avatars of recent Mexican fiction.” (Pablo Brescia, Professor of Latin American Literature, University of South Florida, USA) “Twenty years after the defying “We are the crack” pronouncement (1996-2016), and following the unexpected tragic loss of Ignacio Padilla, the book recovers the origins and innovative proposals of a generation and celebrates their coming of age.” (Professor Sara Poot-Herrera, University of California Santa Barbara, USA) From the Back Cover This book provides a rich and cutting-edge analysis of one of the most prominent literary groups in Latin America: the Mexican Crack Writers.
