Book Description
«Cuando me comunicaron el itinerario de la gira del Premio Alfaguara, lamenté no tener más tiempo para conocer cada lugar. Pero después pensé: ¿no se trata de eso? ¿No estaré por experimentar, sin haberlo planeado, una hipérbole del turismo contemporáneo? ¿Y si esa velocidad pudiera ser también una ventaja? Cuando nos resulta imposible una mirada exhaustiva sobre un lugar, sólo nos queda mirarlo con el asombro radical de la primera vez. Si viajaba volando, así debía escribir. Si iba a pasarme meses en aeropuertos y hoteles, lo verdaderamente estético sería aceptar ese punto de partida, y tratar de buscarle su literatura. Viajar se compone sobre todo de no ver. Nos lo jugamos todo, nuestro pobre conocimiento del mundo, en un parpadeo.» Cómo viajar sin ver (Latinoamérica en tránsito) propone un recorrido vertiginoso por 19 países, traducido instantáneamente por un ojo poético y aforístico. Andrés Neuman nos abre las páginas de un diario sorprendente y divertido que experimenta con las formas de nuestro tiempo, reflexionando sobre el dilema de la nacionalidad y las contradicciones de la globalización. Una manera distinta de pensar Latinoamérica y su literatura reciente, nuestra cultura cambiante y el sentido del viaje.

Book Description
A kaleidoscopic, fast-paced tour of Latin America from one of the Spanish-speaking world’s most outstanding writers. Lamenting not having more time to get to know each of the nineteen countries he visits after winning the prestigious Premio Alfaguara, Andrés Neuman begins to suspect that world travel consists mostly of “not seeing.” But then he realizes that the fleeting nature of his trip provides him with a unique opportunity: touring and comparing every country of Latin America in a single stroke. Neuman writes on the move, generating a kinetic work that is at once puckish and poetic, aphoristic and brimming with curiosity. Even so-called non-places—airports, hotels, taxis—are turned into powerful symbols full of meaning. A dual Argentine-Spanish citizen, he incisively explores cultural identity and nationality, immigration and globalization, history and language, and turbulent current events. Above all, Neuman investigates the artistic lifeblood of Latin America, tackling with gusto not only literary heavyweights such as Bolaño, Vargas Llosa, Lorca, and Galeano, but also an emerging generation of authors and filmmakers whose impact is now making ripples worldwide. Eye-opening and charmingly offbeat, How to Travel without Seeing: Dispatches from the New Latin America is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of the Americas.

Book Description
Goethe in 1827 famously claimed that national literatures did not mean very much anymore, and that the epoch of world literature was at hand. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, in the so-called "transnational turn" in literary studies, interest in world literature, and in how texts move beyond national or linguistic boundaries, has peaked. The authors of the 18 articles making up Literary Transnationalism(s) reflect on how literary texts move between cultures via translation, adaptation, and intertextual referencing, thus entering the field of world literature. The texts and subjects treated range from Caribbean, American, and Latin American literature to European migrant literatures, from the uses of pseudo-translations to the organizing principles of world histories of literature, from the dissemination of knowledge in the middle ages to circulation of literary journals and series in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contributors include, amongst others, Jean Bessière, Johan Callens, Reindert Dhondt, César Domínguez, Erica Durante, Ottmar Ette, Kathleen Gyssels, Reine Meylaerts, and Djelal Kadir. Authors discussed comprise, amongst others, Carlos Fuentes, Ernest Hemingway, Edouard Glissant.

Book Description
From Borges to Garca Mrquez, Vargas Llosa, Maras or Bolao , the Spanish language has given us some of the 20th century's most beloved writers. But as the reach of Spanish culture extends far beyond Spain and Latin America, and the US tilts towards a majority Hispanic population, the time is right to ask who and what is next in Spanish-language fiction? In this, the first translated issue of Granta's Best of Young Novelists, a distinguished panel of six judges - Edgardo Cozarinsky, Isabel Hilton, Francisco Goldman, Mercedes Monmany, and Granta en Espaol's publishers, Valerie Miles and Aurelio Major - looks to new writing across the Spanish-speaking world and asks, 'Who are the most promising novelists telling the stories from the old and new worlds today?' Granta 113, published simultaneously in Spain as Los mejores narradores jovenes en espaol, will showcase the work of 22 promising new writers. Granta's previous 'Best of Young Novelists' issues have been startlingly accurate crystal balls - first calling attention to the work of writers from Salman Rushdie to Jonathan Franzen to Zadie Smith. Here, for the first time in translation, we will again attempt to predict the stars of the future.

Book Description
Emily Dickinson es la primera gran poeta estadounidense. Desconocida como escritora en vida, sus poemas son de una originalidad desusada, de gran economía y control, de una sintaxis y puntuación únicas, a la par que de gran inspiración y profundidad, sobre temas como la identidad, la inmortalidad, la vida, la muerte, el amor o la pasión. Traducir a Dickinson es aceptar un reto arriesgado que sólo los traductores más sagaces son capaces de llevar a término con dignidad. Este volumen presenta la selección, traducción y anotación de sus casi cien poemas más representativos, a cargo del profesor Rolando Costa Picazo. En esta obra leemos a Dickinson a través de la sabiduría lingüística y sensibilidad literaria de Costa Picazo, un traductor que hace justicia a la estatura poética de la reclusa de Amherst y la acerca a los lectores en español del tercer milenio.

Book Description
Winner of the 2020-21 AHGBI-Spanish Embassy Publication Prize In March 1999, in an effort to stave off financial collapse, the Ecuadorian government suspended all banking operations and froze all bank accounts in the country for a period of five days. This episode, the Feriado Bancario, represents the peak of the worst financial crisis in the nation's history and one which had far-reaching and long-last effects on society, politics, the economy, and cultural production. The very idea of 'Ecuador' was transformed, as Ecuador became a country marked by constant interaction with the world beyond its borders. This book explores how contemporary Ecuadorian authors are reimagining the nation following the Feriado Bancario. Starting from a rereading of Ecuador's national novel, Jorge Icaza's Huasipungo (1930), which saw the nation as rooted in the land, the book examines post-crisis fiction which offers an image of Ecuador as a transnational space. It posits that these novels - Eliécer Cárdenas' El oscuro final del Porvenir (2000), Leonardo Valencia's Kazbek (2008), Carlos Arcos' Memorias de Andrés Chiliquinga (2013), and Gabriela Alemán's Humo (2017) - both reflect and explain the new reality of Ecuador as a nation that can no longer be defined by its territory. At the same time, the book uses the Ecuadorian case to challenge the conceptualisation of Latin American literature as 'post-national' and to show how countries on the periphery of the global literary market can, from the very fact of their minoritarian position, enrich and better define World Literature.

Book Description
The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel provides an accessible introduction to an important World literature. While many of the authors covered-Aira, Bolaño, Castellanos Moya, Vásquez-are gaining an increasing readership in English and are frequently taught, there is sparse criticism in English beyond book reviews. This book provides the guidance necessary for a more sophisticated and contextualized understanding of these authors and their works. Underestimated or unfamiliar Spanish American novels and novelists are introduced through conceptually rigorous essays. Sections on each writer include: *the author's reception in their native country, Spanish America, and Spain *biographical history *a critical examination of their work, including key themes and conceptual concerns *translation history *scholarly reception The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel offers an authoritative guide to a rich and varied novelistic tradition. It covers all demographic areas, including United States Latino authors, in exploring the diversity of this literature and its major themes, such as exile, migration, and gender representation.
