This edited volume is a collection of studies focusing on the depiction of the city in twenty-first century Latin American fiction. In the twentieth century, the "Boom generation," from which writers such as Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Fuentes, and Gabriel García Márquez emerged, registered in their writings a variety of reactions to the explosion of urban development that resulted from mass migrations from the countryside. While some focused on creating an urban literature, capturing the complexities and contradictions of city life, others emphasized in their writings a defense of local traditions and way of life against what they saw as an invasion of mass cultural products seeking to homogenize Latin American cultures. In the last few decades, however, Latin American writers have experienced a new social reality that is predominantly urban and global, crisscrossed with popular culture. This book takes this on to inquire whether or not there is a predominant image of the postmodern city that is particularly Latin American.
