Cuba: a Reading List
Cuba: A Reading List “Before Night Falls” by Reinaldo Arenas Mr. Arenas was persecuted in Cuba for his writings and for being gay, and eventually fled to the United States. He committed suicide in New York in 1990, at 47. “Before Night Falls,” his autobiography, was later made into a film starring Javier Bardem. In The New York Times Book Review, Roberto González Echevarría wrote: “Anyone who feels the temptation to be lenient in judging Castro’s government should first read this passionate and beautifully written book.” “Dreaming in Cuban” by Cristina García Ms. García’s first novel tells the story of three generations of women in one family, and how staying in Cuba or fleeing the country affects their lives. Reviewing the book in The Times, Michiko Kakutani said that Ms. García had “produced a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekhov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel García Márquez.” “Paradiso” by José Lezama Lima This novel by Mr. Lima, a major Cuban poet, is about a boy’s coming of age and his search for his dead father. In the Book Review, Edmund White wrote that Mr. Lima “not only has the power to create absorbing and memorable images, he has also placed these images into a vast network of philosophical and mythical significance.” “Three Trapped Tigers” by Guillermo Cabrera Infante In the Book Review, Charles Wilson wrote that Mr. Infante’s most celebrated novel “borrows from the playfulness and form of James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ and ‘Finnegans Wake’ as it describes the decadent life of young people who explore Havana’s cabaret society during the Batista era.” “Explosion in a Cathedral” by Alejo Carpentier Set in Cuba and elsewhere, Mr. -

Pablo Neruda - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Pablo Neruda - poems - Publication Date: 2011 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Pablo Neruda(12 July 1904 – 23 September 1973) Pablo Neruda was the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean poet and politician Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto. He chose his pen name after Czech poet Jan Neruda. Neruda wrote in a variety of styles such as erotically charged love poems as in his collection Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair, surrealist poems, historical epics, and overtly political manifestos. In 1971 Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez once called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language." Neruda always wrote in green ink as it was his personal color of hope. On July 15, 1945, at Pacaembu Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil, he read to 100,000 people in honor of Communist revolutionary leader Luís Carlos Prestes. During his lifetime, Neruda occupied many diplomatic positions and served a stint as a senator for the Chilean Communist Party. When Conservative Chilean President González Videla outlawed communism in Chile in 1948, a warrant was issued for Neruda's arrest. Friends hid him for months in a house basement in the Chilean port of Valparaíso. Later, Neruda escaped into exile through a mountain pass near Maihue Lake into Argentina. Years later, Neruda was a close collaborator to socialist President Salvador Allende. When Neruda returned to Chile after his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Allende invited him to read at the Estadio Nacional before 70,000 people. -
Promoting the Latin American “Boom” in the Pages of Mundo Nuevo
Vol. 5, No. 3, Spring 2008, 75-94 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente The Politics of Literary Prestige: Promoting the Latin American “Boom” in the Pages of Mundo Nuevo Russell Cobb University of Alberta The history of the Boom… is written in the pages of Mundo Nuevo. —José Donoso Nothing kills a man like having to represent a country. —Jacques Vache I. Decades have passed since the Boom ended and yet the period remains controversial among critics. Was it a literary movement or a marketing phenomenon? Why were certain authors (Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Fuentes, etc.) given pride of place over others (Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Severo Sarduy, Augusto Roa Bastos)? Who was primarily responsible for making the Boom such an unprecedented success in international literary circles? This much is agreed upon: in roughly one decade, Latin American fiction emerged from obscurity in Europe and the United States to become a major critical and commercial phenomenon. International recognition had already been bestowed upon Latin American poets such as Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Cobb 76 Mistral, and César Vallejo earlier in the twentieth century while fiction writers remained curiously neglected in what Pascale Casanova has called the “World Republic of Letters.” With the Boom in the early 1960s, however, for the first time in history, Latin American writers were widely translated, published, and awarded the most prestigious literary prizes on the planet. At the risk of oversimplifying matters, there are essentially two strands of thought regarding the Boom’s overwhelming critical and commercial success. There are its supporters, who believe that Boom novels flourished because of the writers’ full embrace of cosmopolitan modernism, or what Goethe called Weltliteratur, a concept of literature as a space existing outside national or linguistic boundaries. -

Through her sixteenth-century conquests in the western hemisphere, Spain imposed history on the New World, and in effect she created the New World. Of course it is well to remember that there were two Old Worlds, indigenous and European, two different forms of hegemony, two displaced orders which would combine to produce a colonial mestizo culture, a mixed-blood culture born of the forcible cross between indi genous Aztec and Spanish civilizations . Mestizaje (miscegenation) is the central fact in the New World, a fact which calls up an inevitable chain: the Spanish conquest of the Americas recalls the Spanish reconquest of the Iberian peninsula and the resulting expUlsion of the Moors and the Jews. -

An Anatomy of Marginality: Figures of the Eternal Return and the Apocalypse in Chilean Post-Dictatorial Fiction Abstract The article analyzes two novels by Chilean writer Diamela Eltit from the standpoint of the post-dictatorial imperative to mourn the dead and reactivate collective memory. After framing Eltit's fiction in the context of the avant-garde resurgence of plastic and performance arts in the second half of Pinochet's regime, I move on to discuss Lumpérica (1983) and Los vigilantes (1994) as two different manifestations of the temporality of mourning. The article addresses how Lumpérica's portrayal of an oneiric, orgiastic communion in marginality (shared by the protagonist and a mass of beggars at a Santiago square) composed an allegory in the strict Benjaminian sense; it further notes how such allegory, as an anti- dictatorial, oppositional gesture, could only find a home in a temporality modeled after the eternal return. -
The Argentine 1960S
The Argentine 1960s David William Foster It was the time of the Beatles, of high school studies, of “flower power,” of social ist revolution, of a new French movie house, of poetry, of Sartre and Fanon, of Simone de Beauvoir, of Salinger and Kerouac, of Marx and Lenin. It was all of that together. It was also the time of the Cuban Revolution, which opened our hearts, and it was the time of a country, Argentina, which took the first steps to ward vio lence that was to define our future (Fingueret 20-21). El cine es una institución que se ha modificado tanto que ya perdió su carácter de “región moral”. Las salas de cine hasta los primeros años de la década del sesen- ta eran lugares de reunión social donde la gente iba a estar como en un centro de reunión social, un club o un café del que se era habitué....Las antiguas salas tenían personalidad propia y algunas cum plían otras funciones que aquellas para las que habían sido creadas; en tiempo de represión sexual, eran frecuen- tadas por parejas heterosexuales que se besaban y mas- turbaban. Los homosexuales tenían su espaci en cier- tas salas llamadas “populares” no frecuentadas por familias, y en mu chos casos sus espectadores eran varones solos. “Hacer el ajedrez” se decia en el argot de los habitués, en esos cines, a cambiarse cons - tantemente de butaca en busca de la compañía ade- cuada (Sebreli 344).1 In Argentina, it was the best of times, and it was the worst of times. -

The Hispanic Literary Canon in U.S. Universities

Introduction Dating back to the Ancient Library of Alexandria, the concept of the literary canon has proven to be a durable one. In its over two millennia of existence, literary canons have served purposes religious and secular, promoted agendas political and personal, and have worked to define and redefine the status of both the traditional cultural elite and, most recently, to reflect upon the role played by traditionally underrepresented minority cultures in the discussion of which texts are considered as definitive. By the 20th Century, the assessment of literary canonicity had become almost the exclusive domain of higher education, especially in the United States, binding -
