A comprehensive resource that covers a period from 1788, the year Miguel Learte wrote Las aventuras de Learte, until 1990, when authors such as Osvaldo Soriano and Luisa Valenzuela published their popular novels. Also includes works which may be considered under the rubric of short novel which, in spite of their length, resemble the novel more than the short story in their basic literary conception, plot development, and narrative scope.

The late scholar and critic Flores (1900-1992) selected some 330 major novelists and poets from Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, both as exemplars of the literature of all the countries of Spanish America and as personally important literary creators. Flores knew most of the authors and was able to obtain from many extraordinary autobiographical passages that often form a part of the author's sketch. Most of the sketches were written in Spanish and translated into English. Critical insights and assessments of translations (a feature of inestimable value and interest) accompany biographies and autobiographies. All material was edited by Flores, who also prepared most of the excellent and extensive bibliographies. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
