Daniel Alarcón—Crossing Over In Reverse |
At the beginning of 2007, when the British magazine Granta selected Daniel Alarcón as one of the most prominent young American writers, more than one person asked, "American? But Alarcón is Peruvian!" Indeed he is, but he has spent most of his life in the United States: he grew up in Alabama, studied in New York, and currently lives in California. Alarcón is a lot like his work: from here, but also from there.
Just a few months later, Alarcón was selected to be part of another exclusive group: Bogotá39, the elite that represent the best Latin American writers under 39. "Latin American? But Alarcón writes in English!" While that is true, Peru appears in all his works. It is a Peru he did not grow up in, but one he absorbed from his family, and, eventually, when it was time for him to (re)visit, after the violence was no more, it was a Peru he already knew.

Breaking Free—Colombian Writers Get Personal
Forty years after Gabriel García Márquez first seduced readers worldwide with tales of levitating grandmothers and magic butterflies, a new generation of Colombian authors is making its mark on the Spanish-language literary scene. Far from wanting to overthrow their literary father or constitute a new "generation," these authors—some veterans, some newcomers—are out to create a voice of their own, and there's nothing predictable about it.
