Introduction


The Review: Latin American Literature and Arts Author Files consists of correspondence between editors of the magazine and Latin American authors, translators, scholars, and American publishing firms, manuscripts of poetry and prose in Spanish, Portuguese, and English translations, nonfiction articles and interviews, documents, photographs, press clippings, and printed material. The collection covers the period 1964-1985, primarily, with a small amount of material dated 1986-1994.

Review was first published in 1968 as an annual of "reviews of Latin American literature in English translation" that had previously appeared in North American publications. In 1970, Ronald J. Christ became the editor of Review and expanded the magazine to include critical articles and interviews commissioned by the journal's editor. Christ served as editor until 1981, when Luis Harss assumed the position. Harss edited the journal for three issues, #28-31. The next two issues, #32 and #33 were edited by an editorial board. Beginning in 1985 with issue #34, the editor of Review has been Alfred J. Mac Adam. In addition to these editors, another important person in the magazine's history is Rosario Santos. During the period 1971-1985, she held a variety of titles, including associate editor, managing editor, and director of the Literature Program of the Center for Inter-American Relations. Santos was also instrumental in bringing Latin American writers to the Center to serve as writers-in-residence or to give public readings.

The Center for Inter-American Relations was a nonprofit institution based in New York, N.Y. which sponsored educational and cultural programs on Latin America and Canada. In 1987, the Center for Inter-American Relations was absorbed by the Americas Society, Inc., a similar nonprofit, nonpartisan institution dedicated to informing the American people about societies and cultures of the countries of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada. Also in 1987, the title of the magazine was changed from Review to Review: Latin American Literature and the Arts.

The following listing of the author files is alphabetical. Most of the files contain printed material about the author, and, in some cases, correspondence with the author.

In the cases of well-known authors who have correspondence in other Latin American literary collections at Princeton, a count of the number of letters in the author's folder(s) is provided. A notation of the number of letters, and dates which the correspondence covers is provided next to the author's name on the list, e.g., 2 TLsS (1967-1968). If there are original or photocopies of manuscripts, these are also noted.
