Como mi primer amor es literatura, quiero aprender más sobre los autores de latino América. Ya leía varias obras de César Vallejo, Gabriel García Marquéz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Isabel Allende, y Jorge Luís Borges.
No me encuentro muy satisfecho con estas obras que he leido hasta ahora (aunque me encantó las poemas de Vallejo, no disfrutaba los otros mucho). Actualmente, leo la obra Don Quijote. Más me interesa aprender algo sobre la poesía.
Busqué una guía de la literatura clásica de los Americas.
Taken from Oxford University's Masters program in Latin American Literature:
Spanish American Narrative
Since the 1940s Spanish American narrative has been among the most innovative and vibrant in the world, as is witnessed by the work of such authors as Borges, Asturias, Carpentier, and Rulfo, who were established figures before the ‘Boom’ of the 1960s and 1970s, by internationally acclaimed ‘Boom’ writers like García Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Cortázar, and Fuentes.
New Historical Novel
Since 1975, the new historical novel has been cultivated by writers such as Carlos Fuentes, Fernando del Paso, Ignacio Solares, Gabriel García Marquez, and Abel Posse. These are authors who combine a sceptical interrogation of history and historiography with an ironic, metafictional literary approach that is assimilable to postmodernism; links with the postcolonial are also evident.
Postcolonialism
such as Borges, Carpentier, Zea, García Márquez, Fuentes, and Del Paso, viewing work by them through a prism informed by theories of Orientalism, mestizaje, transculturation, and Negritude.
Latin American poetry
From Darío to Nicanor Parra and beyond, studying examples of poetry in relation to the various creeds and manifestos of the modernistas, ultraístas, estridentistas, creacionistas.
Political Fiction
The problem of combining, without compromising either, aesthetic freedom and basic socialist sympathies.
Writers studies could include Pablo Neruda, César Vallejo, Julio Cortázar, Tomás Eloy Martínez, Reinaldo Arenas, Jorge Adoum and Ariel Dorfman.
Magic Realism
Theoretical foundations in the writings of Borges, Miguel Angel Asturias and Alejo Carpentier, to its diverse manifestations in the fiction of writers like Juan Rulfo, José María Arguedas, García Marquez and Isabel Allende.
