Anti-Conformist Fiction: The Spanish 'Generation X'

Song, H. Rosi

Abstract

The works of the late 1980s and 1990s from a new generation of Spanish writers have proved popular but have been dismissed with disdain by many established critics. Some of these writers achieved recognition very young, as in the cases of pedro Maestre, whoseMatando dinosaurios con tirachinaswon the 1996 Premio Nadal, and José Ángel Mañas and Juana Salabert, shortlisted for that same prize in 1994 and 1996 respectively forHistorias del KronenandArde lo que será(Urioste 1997–98).
