“PRÓSPERO MORALES PRADILLA” INTERNATIONAL ESSAY PRIZE OF COLUMBIA, 1997

More than a book of essays about the very important work of the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Columbian author Gabriel García Márquez, this book is a conversation, an intellectual essay, from writer to writer, revealing the points of contact and rupture among the key writers who represent the present development of Latin American writing and those who represent the so-called Boom Generation, to propose a non-paternalistic analysis of the contributions of the generations that preceded the writers who today write stories and novels throughout the Latin American continent, as well as new contributions to the genre in the past language since the emergence of this last development.

With this work the author won the “Próspero Morales Pradilla” International Essay Prize of Columbia, 1997.
