What's with our books? EDITORIAL

, El Espectador, February 26, 2011. Http://www.elespectador.com/opinion/editorial/articulo-253342-pasa-nuestros-libros
RECENTLY THE GENERAL EDITOR Alfaguara, Pilar Reyes, asked at a conference in Spain, "Why why the market for books in English is not that of all countries that speak English? ". That is, if a literary work is published in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico, why do the same work is not sold at the same time in Spain and all English speaking countries? It seems obvious that our language, spoken by about 500 million, the second international language and the third used the Internet, it should use to make their books have a wider market.
The puzzle, however, is not easy to solve. Beyond customs and tariff barriers (which still exist in some countries), the problem is that the same areas of the libraries would not suffice to explain the production of all countries combined. The dream of paper books that circulate throughout the continent will remain a dream that may never be realized. Even the English-language books run from Australia via South Africa, Britain, USA and Canada. Also these countries, except the big names and big best-sellers, markets are fragmented, although to a lesser as ours.
In our isolation would be easy to blame them, with an outdated colonialist discourse, the stepmother Spain and its transnational issue. It is true that 20 years ago there was a time when the peninsula, a little weary of the Latin American boom, sought to impose its own authority at the expense of the economic crisis of our continent, and for a moment it seemed that the only authors who deserve jump boundaries were born in Spain. The situation now appears more balanced. There are some hundreds of Latin American writers whose books have been able to cross the Atlantic. The serious, even sad, is that it seems that in order to receive the attention of other Latin American countries, the critical success or sales should take place before in Spain. If supplements or English readers receive either an Argentinean and Mexico and Chile are interested in him, not before. The route is too long for a Colombian writer comes to Mexico or Buenos Aires: so long that happens before Madrid. Back
international local writer is expensive (the transport of books is expensive and not worth it take a hundred books to a country where they will sell ten), but it might be less difficult if we try American cultural projects more effective integration . La Feria de Guadalajara is one of them, no doubt the most important book fair in our language, far above any of the English. Maybe I should think of a continental grand prix not unpublished novels, but novels already published on the continent. This type of award (like the Booker, the Pulitzer and the Prix Goncourt in other areas) would be a great stimulus and not have to pass before Barcelona.
We are not pessimistic. The situation is not the worst in history. Perhaps never before, even in the mythical first half of the twentieth century (when Mexico and Argentina published more and better books than Spain), English-language books circulated as much as now. But this glass half full not prevent us from seeing the glass half empty, that there is too. To improve you have to make alliances between small independent publishers. It should facilitate the movement of local literary magazines, with state support. To stimulate trade, regional fairs and festivals, such as that already exist and should not disappear. And finally, the mystery is Internet and e-book. Just as there are now virtual libraries in a few years there will be great books available for download cheap or free. But even then we know who is worth choosing. Cultural journalism will continue to play its former role there and filter direction in a world that often default does not sin but overproduction.

Notes on trade
By: Santiago Gamboa
El Espectador, February 26, 2011. http://www.elespectador.com/impreso/columna-253338-notas-sobre-el-oficio
V after participating in the Carnival of Barranquilla Arts, that wonderful space for reflection, I had to face several times the traditional question of what is written and, above all, why I do it. Resolved the matter with answers like, "because I love to read", but influenced by the extraordinary environment took some notes I now share with you. Writing is the best way of thinking.

About newest product, the individual
By: Julio Cesar Londoño
El Espectador, February 26, 2011. http://www.elespectador.com/impreso/columna-253339-sobre-un-producto-novisimo-el-individuo
ONE OF THE most significant event in history is the emergence of the individual. One believes that the individual has always existed but in reality is an invention recent. Equally important, many historians no longer put the beginning of modernity in the Renaissance but in the period between 1050 and 1250, when you see this psychological phenomenon.
