{"product_id":"9781666903041","title":"McOndo Revisited: The Making of a Generation Defining Anthology in the Latin American Literature-World","description":"Author: Nulley-Valdes, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781666903041\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 27 Jul 2023\u003cbr\u003ePages: 290 Format: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Pan-Hispanic short story anthology “McOndo” (Grijalbo Mondadori Barcelona, 1996), edited by the Chileans Alberto Fuguet and Sergio Gómez, was envisaged as a forceful contestation of local and global horizons of expectation in Latin American literature, still fixated with exoticized and politicized narratives most especially in the magical realist style.\u003cbr\u003eBy drawing on as well as developing a range of theoretical and methodological approaches from World Literature scholarship, McOndo Revisited reconsiders the literary, political, and publishing ecologies which gave rise to this anthology. This rich context, as well as numerous author interviews, informs a holistic analysis of its controversial prologue, short stories, authors, and reception.\u003cbr\u003eAs the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the “McOndo” anthology, McOndo Revisited rectifies numerous misreadings and reclaims its primarily artistic intentions. Its analysis zooms back and forth from the macro to the micro perspective, analyzing the artistic trajectories of the authors involved through a complex evaluation of the Latin American literature-world as well as individual authors’ habitus. \u003cbr\u003eConsidered by many a commercial and critical failure, McOndo Revisited sheds light on this controversial anthology and demonstrates its role in historicizing the Latin American Literature-World and indeed becoming a generation defining anthology, even if through a most paradoxical fashion.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46658436858014,"sku":"UBD-9781666903041","price":189.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781666903041.jpg?v=1774925747","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781666903041","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
