DESCRIPTION:
"Must-read for students of Latin American culture" according to Gareth Evans. This book is a must-read for students of Latin American culture. It is written with panache and is very readable. At the same time, it presents a complex analysis of Peruvian narrative, TV and politics.Recommended.
University lecturer Iván Thays has vigorously opposed this light narrative by providing a 'high' cultural alternative. Las siete novelas de Jaime Bayly, presentador de televisión, han escandalizado a la sociedad limeña debido al tratamiento que en ellas se da al tema de la homosexualidad y han generado un récord de ventas por todo el mundo de habla hispana debido a su apasionante recreación del argot limeño y a su concentración en los temas del grupo McOndo. This book provides the first look at the dynamic resurgence of Peruvian narrative since the late 1990s. Sus tres novelas han desempeñado un importante papel en la regeneración de la cultura peruana desde la caída del poder del Presidente Alberto Fujimori. His three novels have played an important role in the regeneration of Peruvian culture since the fall from power of President Alberto Fujimori. Madrid-based Jorge Eduardo Benavides' narrative has offered an aesthetically challenging and explicitly politicized alternative. His marrying of aesthetics and politics stands in importance alongside Mario Vargas Llosa and José María Arguedas in terms of the mediation between culture and politics in Peru since the 1930s ROBERT RUZ completed his PhD at Cambridge U
