About this issue:
Review 107, guest edited by scholar Will H. Corral, presents contemporary nonfiction by the most current generations of Spanish American writers. Corral’s introduction emphasizes the dialogues the contributing authors have with other literary traditions and also considers the nature of the genre of nonfiction. Articles by scholars Carlos Burgos, Corral, Marcela Croce, and Antonio Villarruel address topics including the state of the essay in Mexico and Central America, the Caribbean, and the Andean countries, as well as that of the crónica in Latin America. Creative texts showcase essays as well as an interview on a broad array of topics by prominent and emerging authors, among them Gabriela Alemán, Jazmina Barrera, Carmen Boullosa, Horacio Castellanos Moya, Mariana Enriquez, Ariana Harwicz, Julián Herbert, Eduardo Lalo, Patricio Pron, Mayra Santos-Febres, Samantha Schweblin, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, and Alejandro Zambra. The texts have been translated by a breadth of renowned translators, among them Ezra Fitz, Sean Manning, Megan McDowell, Christina MacSweeney, Andrea Rosenberg, and Samantha Schnee. The nonfiction presented in Review 107 underscores the truly international character of Latin American literature and its place in world literature. The issue includes two Features—a memorial piece, by translator and board member Elizabeth Lowe, on Brazilian novelist Nélida Piñon; and excerpts from Mexican playwright Sergio López Vigueras’s Tartarus. Reviews cover titles in translation by João Almino, Homero Aridjis, Amanda Berenguer, Sergio Missana, Angelina Muñiz-Huberman, and Verónica Zondek, as well as of the Gego exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum.
