Rossi, Rosario Ferré and others.  This course will introduce students to the politics and aesthetics of the “new Novel” in Latin America, the so-called “Boom” and “post-Boom” literature, as well as debates surrounding twenty-first century writings. Close readings will alternate with critical and theoretical frameworks for the study of Latin American literature, from cultural studies to political theory.
