Notes

1. Two recent books are David William Foster's Studies in the Contemporary Spanish-American Short Story (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1979); and John S. Brushwood, Genteel Barbarism: New Readings of Nineteenth-Century Spanish-American Novels (London and Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1982).

2. Brushwood's Genteel Barbarism offers readings using as points of departure the theories of Brooks and Warren, Jakobson, Todorov, Barthes, Genette, and others. Each chapter is an experiment with a different theoretical approach.

3. Additional studies of value on the Grupo de Barranquilla are John S. Brushwood, “José Félix Fuenmayor y el regionalismo de García Márquez,” Texto crítico 3, no. 7 (May-Aug. 1977):110-15; and Jacques Gilard, “García Márquez, le Groupe de Barranquilla et Faulkner,” Caravelle 27 (1976):123-46.

4. Voces was published in Barranquilla from 1917 to 1920. A selection from Voces has been published in book form as Voces (Bogotá: Instituto Colombiano de Cultura, 1977).

5. Walter J. Ong's most recent work on oral and written culture appears in Orality and Literacy (London and New York: Methuen, 1982). Another key work in this area is Jack Goody, Literacy in Traditional Societies (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1968).
