Neruda, Pablo
Late and posthumous poems 1968-1974
Introduction by Manuel Duran ; edited and translated by Ben Belitt
PQ8097.N4 A22 1988
This superb bilingual anthology highlights the posthumous legacy of Pablo Neruda, the great Chilean poet and Nobel laureate, who left a vast body of unpublished work when he died in 1973. Ben Belitt, a distinguished poet in his own right, is widely regarded as the leading translator of Neruda into English. Here he has given us a Neruda as fecund and engaged as ever, ceaselessly spinning the strands of his great, seamless life's work.

Neruda, Pablo
Stones of the sky / translated by James Nolan
PQ8097.N4 P5 1987
The 30 short poems, forming a mini-epic of metamorphosis, are definitely a minor contribution to the Nobel Prize winner's lyric corpus; and the poor translations, often prosaic and inaccurate (e.g., se cubre de espinas is rendered as "grows spiky") will convince few of the reputation Neruda so fittingly deserves.

The stories in Assumed Name, written before the 1976 military coup d'etat in Argentina, invoke a stark socio-political situation that foreshadows the repressive dictatorship that the country was to suffer from 1976 to 1983.

Poniatowska, Elena
Here's to You, Jesusa! / translated by Deanna Heikkinen
PQ7297 .P63 H313 2002
Left motherless and with a roaming father in impoverished turn-of-the-century Oaxaca, Jesusa is married at age 15 to an abusive cavalry captain during the Mexican revolution. Always a tomboy, she turns increasingly irascible, vindictive and opinionated, everything a Mexican woman of her time is not supposed to be. When her husband is killed three years after their marriage, Jesusa remakes herself repeatedly, taking on various trades to support herself. She repudiates modern life, has several run-ins with the law and takes comfort in an eccentric religion.

Ramón Ribeyro, Julio
Marginal voices: selected stories / English translation by Dianne Douglas ; foreword by Dick Gerdes.
PQ8497.R47 P313 1993
This volume brings together fifteen stories written during the period 1952-1975, which were collected in the three volumes of La palabra del mudo. Ribeyro's stories treat the social problems brought about by urban expansion, including poverty, racial and sexual discrimination, class struggles, alienation, and violence.

Roa Bastos, Augusto
I The Supreme
PQ 8259.R56 Y613 1986
When we meet Jose Gaspar Rodriguez de Francia he is in his last days, after almost thirty years of absolute rule. Never married, having disavowed his own family and whatever friends he once had, he has as his only companion his longtime secretary, Policarpo Patino. And it is to this much-abused (and possibly treacherous) servant that Francia pours out his deathbed ruminations.

Sábato, Ernesto
Tunnel
PQ7797 .S214 T8 1965
"Sabato delivers several satisfying satirical thrusts at the vagaries of the life of the urban intellectual that retain a remarkable contemporary resonance . . . Sabato captures the intensity of passions run into uncharted passages where love promises not tranquility, but danger."

Saramago, José
Blindness
PQ9281.A66 E6813 1998
A city is struck by an epidemic of "white blindness." The first man to succumb sits in his car, waiting for the light to change. He is taken to an eye doctor, who does not know what to make of the phenomenon-and soon goes blind himself. The blindess spreads, sparing no one…

Valenzuela, Luisa
The Lizard's Tail
PQ 7798.32 .A48 L5
A figure of immense power and cruelty, Lopez Rega survives all attempts by politicians and the military to overthrow him. So great is the magic of this power-crazed witchdoctor that the writer/narrator can destroy him only by removing herself.

Vallejo, César

Vargas Llosa, Mario
Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter
PQ8498.32.A65 T513 1985
When sexy, sophisticated, older Aunt Julia gets divorced from her Bolivian husband, she heads home to Peru in search of a new mate who can support her in high style. She finds instead her libidinous nephew Varguitas-a young, impoverished law student who works at a ramshackle radio station and aspires to be a fiction writer.

Vargas Llosa, Mario
A Writer's Reality
PQ8498.32 .A65 A5 1990
In this book, Vargas Llosa invites readers to enter into his confidence as he unravels six of his own novels and discusses the importance to him of the fiction of Borges. Llosa's native Peru, the setting and character of much of his fiction, is at the center of his piece on the chronicles of the birth of Peru-the powerful account of the discovery and conquest of Peru by the Spaniards-which he describes as "novels disguised as history."

Vargas Llosa, Mario
The Real Life of Alejandro Mayta
PQ8498.32 .A65 H513 1986
This book is set in the Peru of the near future, a country in the throes of an insurgency pitting a Cuban-Bolivian-backed revolutionary army against a failing Lima government and the U.S. Marines. In the midst of a deteriorating Peru, whose cities have become vast garbage-strewn slums and whose people have lost almost every hope, the book chronicles the narrator's attempt to reconstruct the story of a Trotskyist revolutionary.

Washburn, Yulan M.

PQ7297 .A853 Z97 1983
