Overview

¿Qué sabemos del boom de la literatura hispanoamericana y de la revolución literaria que este trajo consigo?
 
Xavier Ayén nos lo descubre en esta apasionante crónica.

No hay placas que lo conmemoren, pero el movimiento más importante de la literatura en castellano durante el siglo XX se abrió al mundo desde Barcelona entre los años 1967 y 1976. El boom latinoamericano fue, en igual medida, un cruce de solidaridades revolucionarias y un fenómeno polifónico que se articuló en la ciudad catalana, a la luz de editores, agentes literarios y bares donde la dictadura franquista se hacía cada vez más frágil, en un proceso en el que asimismo resulta obligado viajar a Ciudad de México, Buenos Aires, La Habana, París y Nueva York.

Xavi Ayén culmina con este libro una investigación de diez años que lo llevó por más de trescientas fuentes bibliográficas y vivas. No solo encontramos entrevistas con los grandes protagonistas del boom, también abundan documentos hasta ahora desconocidos y relatos cruzados de una memoria colectiva: Vargas Llosa grita los goles de su compatriota Hugo Sotil en el Camp Nou, a García Márquez le confunden con un mecánico cuando lleva su coche de lujo a una gasolinera, Carlos Fuentes memoriza el perfume de las mujeres con las que baila, Carmen Balcells regala idénticos bombones a los miembros de la Academia Sueca y a sus secretarias.

Este libro ganó en Barcelona el Premio Gaziel de Biografías y Memorias 2013. La actual edición incluye nuevos datos, testimonios y revelaciones recopilados en los últimos años por el autor.

Aquellos años del boom es la historia de un grupo de amigos que cambiaron la literatura para siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

¿What do we know about the boom in Latin-American literature and the literary revolution that it brought about?
 
Xavier Ayén reveals it to us in this thrilling chronicle.
 
There are no plaques commemorating it, but the most important movement in Spanish-language literature during the 20th century started in Barcelona between 1967 and 1976. The Latin-American boom was equally a mix of revolutionary support and a polyphonic phenomenon that was brought together in the Catalonian city by editors, literary agents, and bars where Franco’s dictatorship became ever more fragile, in a process in which it’s also necessary to travel to Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Havana, Paris, and New York.

In this book, Xavi Ayén culminates ten years of research that led him through more than 300 bibliographic and living sources. Not only are we presented with interviews of the boom’s great protagonists, but there is also a wealth of previously unknown documents and accounts from the collective memory of the time: Vargas Llosa shouting for the goals of his compatriot Hugo Sotil at Camp Nou, García Márquez being mistaken for a mechanic when he takes his luxury car to the gas station, Carlos Fuentes memorizing the perfumes of the women he dances with, Carmen Balcells giving identical bonbons to the members of the Swedish Academy and her secretaries.
 
This book the 2013 Gaziel Prize for Biography and Memoirs in Barcelona. The current edition includes new facts, testimonies, and revelations compiled in recent years by the author.

Those Boom Years is the story of a group of friends who changed literature forever.
