This anthology of Latin American essays has been collated to reflect the intellectual, critical and self-reflexive side of the Latin American mind while retaining the features which distinguish the area's fiction - the rich language and metaphor and the imaginative bravado. The essays include: Baldomero Sanin Cano's critique of Theodore Roosevelt; Ezequiel Martinez Estrada's reading of Thoreau; Pablo Neruda's Nobel acceptance speech; Mario Vargas Llosa's analysis of the destruction of the Incas; Isabel Allende's and Carlos Fuentes's personal accounts of their writing; Gabriel Garcia Marquez's repudiation of the umbrella; and Rosario Ferre's assessement of the role of the translator.
