Quím (10[1])Font designed an (10[1])ouroboros (“oo-ruh-BOH-russ”) logo for this movement’s magazine Lee Harvey Oswald, (10[1])which published poems (-5[1])by Ernesto San Epifanio. In a novel based on the author’s earlier The Spirit of Science Fiction, members of this movement hate the (10[1])“great enemy,” Octavio Paz. Poets from this movement named (-5[1])Juan García Madero, Ulises (10[1])Lima, and Arturo Belano (-5[1])take a white Chevy Impala into the Sonoran Desert to look (10[1])for Cesárea Tinajero (10[1])(“say-SAH-ray-uh tee-nuh-HAY-ro”). For 10 points, name this fictional version of (10[1])Mexican infrarealism from (-5[1])Roberto (10[1])Bolaño’s (10[2])The Savage (-5[1])Detectives. ■END■ (10[2]0[7])
