New Voices of Hispanic America, An Anthology -- inscribed by editors
Boston: Beacon Press, 1962. First Printing. Hardcover. Cloth backed boards in dust jackt, book very good, jacket good plus with general toning, spine darkened and rubbed, light wear and soil. Inscribed to Cuban-born poet, playwright and professor Robert Lima from Alegria and (we think) Flakoll -- the signature is hard to decipher. Lima specialized partly in Latin American literature, and edited and translated the first critical book on Borges to appear in English in 1965, so a nice association copy. The anthology introduces to the American public some of the greatest writers of the pre-Boom and Boom-era authors: Ernest Cardenal, Juan Rulfo, Octavio Paz, Jose Donoso, Nicanor Parra, Hugo Lindo, Julio Cortazar, and many more. Alegria, the editor, of Nicaraguan-Salvadorean heritage, was translated by Carolyn Forché in a book published by the University of Pittsburgh Press. Very good / good. Item #H24706
