Carlos Fuentes (Karlos Fuentes) Novi hispanoamericki roman (spanski jezik) veoma dobro stanje unutra, spolja se vidi na slici Carlos Fuentes, the face of the Latin American `boom` generation, is known more for his novels than his literary criticism. But this, his 1969 treatise on fiction in Spanish America, is excellently written. With an impressively international arsenal of allusions, from Orson Welles to Michel Foucault to Sergei Eisenstein, Fuentes lauds modern Latin American fiction and develops what was, when he wrote it, the `boom` movement`s most cogent manifesto: literature must be international, literature must be revolutionary, writers must support revolutions, etc. An important piece of literary history, for sure.
