Summary:

The Scribner Writers Series has set the standard for literary reference for more than 25 years. In addition to addressing the lives and careers of important writers, the articles discuss the themes and styles of major works and place them in pertinent historical, social and political contexts for today's readers. Novelists, playwrights, essayists, poets, short story writers, and more recently, genre writers in science fiction and mystery, are all expertly discussed in the more than 16 sets comprising this series.

This is the first collection of bio-critical essays on Latin American writers by scholars from the U.S., Latin America and Europe. It includes more than 176 chroniclers, novelists, poets, journalists and playwrights from the 16th century to the present.
