Hispanófila (200) Cover.jpg

"This is a brilliant contribution to the sociology of literature in Latin America and an exceptionally well researched and argued book. Using a world literature approach, with a critical emphasis on Bourdieu and Casanova, it carefully explores the place of the McOndo anthology [...] in the constitution of a generation of Latin American writers and their relations with other literary actors in the literary field. This in depth case study allows the author to significantly contribute to our understanding of the relations between the canon and the Latin American literary field or space. The interviews with all the writers and other actors involved are themselves, finally, a great contribution to the field"

------- Juan Poblete, University of Califoria - Santa Cruz

"McOndo Revisited is a major contribution to the study of one of the critical moments of Latin American literature's ongoing struggle to be a part of world literature. The concept of "Latin American Literature-World" developed in these pages will reorient many discussions in the years to come."

------- Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, Washington University in St. Louis
