Ensayos y aproximaciones a la otra literatura colombiana

the long version

"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.
