Paulo Roberto de Almeida
Latin American Literary History:
Continuities and Discontinuities
Thursday, February 8, 2018, Room 9206/07
The Graduate Center, CUNY
A
discussion with Rolena Adorno and Roberto González Echevarría, authors of the
recently published Breve historia de la literatura latinoamericana colonial
y moderna (Madrid, 2017). The two parts of the Breve historia are hinged by
Andrés Bello, the Venezuelan polymath, and range from Columbus to Bolaño, while
devoting attention to authors rarely considered by the general public such as
Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, Esteban Echeverría, and Severo Sarduy. The
discussion will center on how various periods of Latin American literature
engage each other and how current literature deals with the past and with
literatures in other languages.
