Albany. 1998. July 1998. SUNY Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0791438260. SUNY series in Latin American and Iberian Thought and Culture. 217 pages. paperback. keywords: Literature Latin American South America Literary Criticism. FROM THE PUBLISHER-What happened in Spanish American fiction after the Boom? Can we define the Post-Boom? What are its characteristics? How does it relate to the Boom itself? Is Post-Boom the same as Postmodernism or something quite different? Shaw traces the emergence of a different kind of writing which began to displace the Boom in the mid-1970s and has flourished ever since. More reader-friendly, more concerned with the here and now of Latin America, the writers of the Post-Boom have explored new areas of Spanish American life and incorporated characters from new social groups, especially young working-class and lower middle-class figures with their distinctive 'pop' culture and freewheeling life-style. Shaw suggests that, while some Boom writers have moved toward the Post-Boom, Post-Boom narrative is distinctively different from that of the older movement and cannot be readily assimilated into Postmodernism. inventory #46105.
