“Little is know about the following people: David Toscana, Ignacio Padilla, Mario Bellatín and Mónica Lavín. But to followers of Mexico’s literary scene, their names serve as a guide to a growing movement led by young writers.” Monica Campbell writes about these “young authors look[ing] beyond El Boom,” the "boom" of Latin American literature during the 1960s, in today’s San Francisco Chronicle.
“The new fiction writers readily salute the powerful influence of El Boom, but are weary of a literary style that has long typecast Latin American literature.” – Monica Campbell, San Francisco Chronicle
