This book analyzes - and includes an appendix of interviews with - authors who have not previously been critically read together, from the early and emblematic works of Gabriel Garc僘 M疵quez and Elena Poniatowska to more recent authors, like Leila Guerriero and Juan Villoro, who are currently reshaping media and audiences in Latin America. In a world overwhelmed by data production and marked by violent acts against those considered 'others', Liliana Ch疱ez D僘z argues that storytelling plays an essential role in communication among individuals, classes and cultures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiliana Ch疱ez D僘z\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Latin American Studies at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and author of \u003ci\u003eViajar sola: identidad y experiencia de viaje en autoras hispanoamericanas\u003c\/i\u003e (2020).
