- Notes:
- A clever promotional map-brochure that "features Latin-American novelists and poets, many of them Nobel-prize winners, who have dramatized political, social, and emotional struggles using the extreme geography of the region as inspiration. It offers an historical overview of the literature of each country, significant writers, and the important locales in their lives and works." (Hopkins 1999, 27). More than 90 sites are located and cross indexed by country and author. The bold yellow parrot against a blood-red sun provides a striking image.
