This book charts the image of paris in Cortazar's Hopscotch, Ribeyro's
La juventud en la otra ribera, Carpentier's Reasons of State, Fuentes's
Distant Relations, Garro's Reencuentro de personajes, and Goytisolo's
Landscapes after Battle. These novels were published between 1963 and
1982, a period that corresponds with the coming of age of Spanish
American fiction.
