This book collects, for the very first time, the personal correspondence between the four master novelists of the Latin American Boom: Cortázar, Fuentes, GarcÃa Márquez, and Vargas Llosa. The latter two were awarded the Nobel Prize, and the first two deserved it. No one would have been surprised if they had received it. This conversation among four brilliant and successful friends gives us unprecedented access to their personal and collective relationships, with all their agreements and disagreements, and opens a privileged window to Latin American literature and politics, specially during a crucial time in their modern history, from 1959 to 1975. Boom Letters chronicles this quartet's highest peak, when the artists seemed to start writing less on their own and play together as part of the same literature, exploring this appreciation and the regeneration of a common past. Finding four great writers in an almost unparalleled historical setting--communicating over several years to discuss novels, literature, Latin American history, their own biographies, and the dynamics of their ideas within such context--is absolutely unique. These pages tell their story. --The editors
