Literature History From 1960 To 1990
A new generation break up takes place in the 1960s. Influences are varied:
Sartre, Camus, Eluard; some Spaniards like Celaya; and native writers such
as Borges, Arlt, Cortázar and Marechal. Two trends stand out: the trace
of metaphysical time and historicity: Horacio Salas, Alejandra Pizarnik and
Ramón Plaza and social and urban convulsions: Abelardo Castillo, Marta
Lynch and Manuel Puig.
The 1970s are dark for intellectual creation. The sign of the times is exile:
Juan Gelman and Antonio Di Benedetto or death: Roberto Santoro and Haroldo
Conti. Some poets: Agustín Tavitián and Antonio Aliberti, story
tellers: Osvaldo Soriano, Fernando Sorrentino and essayists: Ricardo Herrera
and María Rosa Lojo stand out among the vicissitudes and renew the
field of ethic and aesthetic ideas. Again, their references are Eluard, Eliot,
Montale and Neruda.
