Meksička književnost posle „buma”

Abstract

What were the paths of Mexican literature after the “Boom”? How did it develop in the second half of the 20 th century? Who are its protagonists in the new millennium? In this article we will try to answer these and some other questions, focusing our research on the period from the “post boom” to the literary tendencies of the 21 st century. Particular attention will be paid to the Crack movement, we will show that the narco-literature as one of the significant new (sub)genres, and we will turn attention to the Mexican writers living in the United States, since they are quite unknown to our translation literature. Finally, we will emphasize some female writers to point to the long tradition of women’s writing in Mexican literature, having in mind that recently all the Hispanic literary criticism has been seeking to renew the public interest in women writers, unjustly neglected in the decades behind us. The results we would reach will show that the Mexican literature is more vibrant and diverse today than ever before, and that the relation between the works published in the last half-century is based on the reality that surrounds authors and readers, but also on global topics that concern us all.
