Experimental Writing: Africa vs Latin America Vol 1

Description

This project come out from our need to harness voices in Africa and Latin America, giving these voices an opportunity to converse, argue, synthesize, agree, and share ideas on the craft of writing, on life, on being and on thinking for the benefit of all. It was also an opportunity to create literary friendships and contacts between these two great regions. Generally, Latin America and Africa still have a lot of stories to share among themselves and with the rest of the world. There are still very strong untapped storytelling traditions in these continents. The stories in this volume are selected from an amazing range of entries to a call for contributions to an anthology on experimentation. It is hoped this robust selection will serve a wide variety of tastes in both Spanish and English, and that the book will open dialogue and the sharing of ideas between the two regions and the whole world. This is an invaluable contribution on many fronts.

Berenguer Carmen: En el año 1983 publiqué mi primer libro, Bobby Sands Desfallece en el Muro. El golpe de Estado de 1973 produjo un quiebre institucional político social y cultural y al espacio literario, la imagen de la quema de libros, persecución y tortura, censura previa, autores desaparecidos, exilios y censura sospecha y delación. Había que pedir autorización del Ministerio del Interior para publicar un libro. El sistema editorial para un autor desconocido era imposible. Yo me encontraba en la Sociedad de Escritores de Chile fue un refugio donde se generó un espacio de libertad y el comienzo de publicaciones literarias revistas trípticos que dieron lugar a que yo tomara la iniciativa de aprender a hacerme un libro este libro.
