Ensayos y aproximaciones a la otra literatura colombiana

"A valuable volume that studies authors who, until now, have received little or no critical attention. The 'other' literature studied here ranges from Sofía Ospina (1892-1974) and other Medellín-based authors to more contemporary novelists such as Arturo Echeverri Mejía, Manuel Mejía Vallejo, and Armando Romero (b. 1944). A useful leitmotiv in Escobar Mesa's analysis is the treatment of violence as a pervasive presence in the work of the various authors studied"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
