One section of a book titled for this place describes the impact of “King Sugar and Other Agricultural Monarchs.” A book by Antonio Pigafetta exemplifies the “outsize reality” of this place per the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature lecture, which describes its isolation. Eduardo Galeano (“gah-lay-AH-no”) wrote a book about this place’s “Open Veins.” The start of a movement named for this place has been dated both to the publication of a novel with a “Table of Instructions” titled (*) Hopscotch and to the publication of The Time of the Hero. The name of that movement referenced an “explosion” in the reputation of authors from this transnational region like Julio Cortázar. For 10 points, a 1960s literary “Boom” is named after what large region home to many Spanish-speaking authors? ■END■
