Description

Explore the complex relationship between Latin American literature and the birth of the film industry. This Routledge study examines how key intellectuals and writers engaged with Hollywood during the early 20th century. The book looks at the film metropolis as a multivalent sign for major figures such as Horacio Quiroga, Alejo Carpentier, and Mario de Andrade. Beyond famous names, the text investigates the perspectives of writers like Carlos Noriega Hope, Vera Zouroff, and Guillermo Villarronda. It explores the tension these authors felt as they navigated a new medium dominated by a single nation. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how the arrival of Hollywood influenced the artistic direction and cultural identity of Latin American literary figures during this transformative era.
