A special feature of the set is a boxed sidebar that accompanies each essay, headed “What to Read”: This synopsis of one of the author’s most famous works functions both as a guide to students looking for a place to start and as an advisory for the interested general reader. At the end of every essay is an up-to-date annotated bibliography, “Learn More,” which suggests secondary sources for further study. The text of each essay introduces the author with a pronunciation for his or her name, a brief biographical sketch, and a synopsis of the literary career. Thor’s works by genre: foreign-language (original) title first if appropriate, then date of publication, then English title-in-publication and its date.

A full listing of birth and death dates and places follows, followed by chronological listings of the auvii Each essay features a brief quotation from the author, often accompanied by a photograph or portrait the author’s nationality or ethnicity and major genre (e.g., “Mexican American novelist”) are identified. The term also, of course, includes U.S.-born writers of Latino descent-Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Cuban and Cuban American, Dominican American, from Julia Alvarez to Richard Rodriguez to Gary Soto-whose experiences growing up in this country, with all their variety, have been collectively termed “Latino.” Used this way, the term “Latino” generally does not refer to Spaniards (such as Miguel de Cervantes) exclusively identified with Spain. The term is deliberately inclusive, allowing coverage of many Latin American authors-such as the Brazilian Jorge Amado, the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez, or the Peruvian/Chilean Isabel Allende-whose works have been routinely translated into English and studied as part of the Latino heritage. Although often confined to those born in the United States of Spanish-speaking parents, or who have migrated to the United States from a Spanish-language country, the term “Latino” is here used in its larger sense, to refer to authors living in the Americas who speak-or descend from those who spoke-any romance (hence “Latin”) language, as well as those of Latin American descent living in the United States, who often may speak only English. Students, librarians, and teachers of literature both originally written in English and by authors whose Spanish- or Portugueselanguage works have been translated into English will find a comprehensive overview of each author’s biography and literary career as well as ready-reference listings of their major works in all genres. Publisher’s Note Notable Latino Writers compiles 122 essays on great novelists, poets, playwrights, and short-story writers of the Western Hemisphere who are considered “Latino” in the broad sense of the term.
