This is an outstanding example of scholarly writing and critical thinking. It challenges conventional ways of talking about and teaching Latin American literature, while at the same time resisting a facile globalization whereby Latin American literature a companion to the presumed centers of world literature., Héctor Hoyos makes a strong argument for reading the novels of the Chilean author as an epochal shift from the national narrative to novels whose characters and events are situated within a global scenario. Borges can be said to have envisaged the grounding of the local within the global when he described "El Aleph," the tiny object in which the entire world is reflected. Professor Hoyos argues convincingly that in contemporary fiction, settings such as the supermarket, the art world, the narco territory constitute such alephs. Focusing on the novels of Cesar Aira, Chico Buarque, Diamela Eltit, Fernando Vallejo, and Mario Bellatîn, Beyond Bolaño offers a stimulating discussion of this contemporary turn., Hctor Hoyos makes a strong argument for reading the novels of the Chilean author as an epochal shift from the national narrative to novels whose characters and events are situated within a global scenario. He argues convincingly that in contemporary fiction, settings such as the supermarket, the art world, and the narco territories constitute such alephs. Focusing on the novels of Csar Aira, Chico Buarque, Diamela Eltit, Fernando Vallejo, and Mario Bellatin, Beyond Bolao offers a stimulating discussion of this contemporary turn., A fascinating analysis of what 'the globe' looks like from Latin America. An ambitious and necessary reframing of the world literature debates, Beyond Bolaño is also an exemplary illustration of what textured literary analysis can tell us about the geopolitics of cultural prestige., Héctor Hoyos makes a strong argument for reading the novels of the Chilean author as an epochal shift from the national narrative to novels whose characters and events are situated within a global scenario. He argues convincingly that in contemporary fiction, settings such as the supermarket, the art world, and the narco territories? constitute such alephs. Focusing on the novels of César Aira, Chico Buarque, Diamela Eltit, Fernando Vallejo, and Mario Bellatin, Beyond Bolaño offers a stimulating discussion of this contemporary turn., Beyond Bolaño displays remarkable breadth and acute sensitivity to globalization's imprint on contemporary Latin American literary form. . . . This book argues that while world literature is itself a product of globalization, critics must resist reproducing the conditions of cultural homogenization that often prevail. In going beyond Bolaño, readers and critics can turn the paradigm against itself, striking a blow against more conventional and fundamentally uneven ways of ordering the study of global literature., A must-read for anyone interested in the ongoing discussion on world literature, using the work of Roberto Bolaño as Ansatzpunkt to latinamericanize that discussion and to explore what contemporary Latin American literature can tell us about ideologies of the global", An outstanding example of scholarly writing and critical thinking. Beyond Bolao challenges conventional ways of talking about and teaching Latin American literature, while at the same time resisting a facile globalization whereby Latin American literature becomes a companion to the presumed centers of world literature., Chris Andrews writes very fine prose... This book isn't just a translator's homage to his author (Andrews's affection for Bolano is obvious but does not interfere with his analysis) but an exceptional work of scholarship., An outstanding example of scholarly writing and critical thinking. Beyond Bolaño challenges conventional ways of talking about and teaching Latin American literature, while at the same time resisting a facile globalization whereby Latin American literature becomes a companion to the presumed centers of world literature., Hoyos' book is an excellent guide for casual readers of Latin American literature wondering what lies beyond the traditional canon of Borges, Garca Mrquez, Vargas Llosa and even of the more recent Bolao. By tying the narrative of the continent to its history, it will also interest readers curious about trends in contemporary Latin American culture. Finally, to specialists it will be of special interest as it develops new angles from which to think of the local and the global as it pertains to Latin American literature., This book brings important novelists to the fore, constructs an impressive critical ap- paratus, and offers a point of departure for engaging global Latin American novels in all their complexity and in ours., An important contribution to both studies of the contemporary (post 1989) Latin American novel and studies of World Literature., A must-read for anyone interested in the ongoing discussion on world literature, this book uses the work of Roberto Bolaño to explore what contemporary Latin American literature can tell us about ideologies of the global., [A]n impressive book. The claim that there cannot be a true consideration of the global novel without including authors of a Latin America that goes beyond Bolao is most convincing., Héctor Hoyos offers a fascinating analysis of what "the globe" looks like from Latin America. An ambitious and necessary reframing of the world literature debates, Beyond Bolaño is also an exemplary illustration of what textured literary analysis can tell us about the the geopolitics of cultural prestige., Hoyos' book is an excellent guide for casual readers of Latin American literature wondering what lies beyond the traditional canon of Borges, García Márquez, Vargas Llosa and even of the more recent Bolaño.

Focusing on the novels of César Aira, Chico Buarque, Diamela Eltit, Fernando Vallejo, and Mario Bellatin, Beyond Bolaño offers a stimulating discussion of this contemporary turn., Hoyos provides fresh insights into the relationship between contemporary Latin American literature and globalization. His study should be of interest to specialists in Latin American fiction, but it also has a broader appeal which is relevant to the disciplines of world literature and American studies.
