The latest addition<\/a> to our Reviews Section<\/a> is by Vincent Francone on And the Hippies Came (Llegaron los Hippies)<\/em> by Manuel Abreu Adorno, from 7Vientos.<\/p>\n

Vincent is a frequent reviewer for Three Percent, and recently discovered and fell in love with 7Vientos<\/a>, a brand-new press based in Chicago specializing in Latin-American literature. The press has two books out so far, both with pretty awesome cover art. And the Hippies Came<\/em> also boasts a neat layout in that it’s a flip book: the original Spanish can be read from one side, and the English translation from the other.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s the beginning of Vincent’s review:<\/p>\n

\n

Kids these days. They think they\u2019ve invented everything. The McOndo writers and Crack Generation, who so proudly buck the Magic Realist tendencies of Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez, who seek to find a place within Latin American letters sans spirits . . . they\u2019ve got their heads in the right place even if their books aren\u2019t always the best. But, having read the stories of Manuel Abreu Adorno, I have to wonder if the Crack and McOndo groups know that their battle was won in 1978.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

And the Hippies Came<\/em>, the collected stories of Abreu Adorno (not to be confused with the other Adorno, who is far less fun to read), is, as the translator\u2019s forward tell us, a neglected classic, a book that resonated with readers upon impact and caught the attention of Julio Cort\u00e1zar. No wonder: the book is daring, fun, utterly readable, and\u2014why not, let\u2019s use the term\u2014postmodern.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
