The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City 

Jean Franco's The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City

Jean Franco’s The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City

This topic takes its cue from Ángel Rama’s famous text La ciudad letrada (1984), and Jean Franco’s examination of Cold War and post-Cold War Latin American literature The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City (2002). Both are essential reading for the topic.
