the boom
The Latin American boom is, structurally, a current running south. García Márquez is read in Buenos Aires before he is read in Mexico; Fuentes and Rulfo travel southward by post; the literary supplements of La Nación are where the boom is curated. The decade-long flow is the strongest pairing in the index.
