Juan Manuel Marcos

Juan Manuel Marcos is the principal literary figure of the generation of Criterio and the New Paraguayan Cancionero movement which have been changing the Paraguayan contemporary poetry and theatre since the 70s. Both national and international critics have pointed out that his novel Gunter´s Winter (1987) has started the renovation of the Paraguayan narrative, and has opened the concept of postboom as a new paradigm of genre at a continental scale.l
