Roa Bastos, Augusto
Born 1917. Paraguayan writer. Roa Bastos took part in the movement against Morinigo’s dictatorship, which lasted from 1940 to 1948. Since 1947 he has lived abroad as an émigré. He began his career as a poet, but his important works are in prose. Examples are the short-story collection Thunder Amidst the Foliage (1953) and the novel The Son of Man (1960; Russian translation, 1967), which is an outstanding work of Latin-American prose. The novel interweaves his-toricism and mythmaking in its portrayal of Paraguay over a period of several decades. Roa Bastos is also a literary critic. WORKSEl baldío.

No references found | Paraguay, which stayed "on the margins of the world and developed nothing but corruption and contraband," during the 35-year Stroessner dictatorship, in the words of the great Paraguayan writer Augusto Roa Bastos, has recently begun to integrate its economy into that of the region and the world. In making this argument, he engages with the writings of Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, and Martin Heidegger, as well as the works of such Latin American fiction writers as Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Augusto Roa Bastos. Americas bids farewell to Augusto Roa Bastos, one of the great Latin American writers of the twentieth century, who died on April 26 at age eighty-seven, in his native city of Asuncion. |
