The Costa Region is represented by Juan Joseacute; Nieto's citeIngermina/cite to Alvaro Cepeda Samudio's citeLa casa grande/cite and Gabriel Garciacute;a Maacute;rquez' citeCien antilde;os de soledad/cite; the Greater Antioquian Region by Tomaacute;s Carrasquilla's citeFrutos de mi tierra/cite to Manuel Mejiacute;a Vallejo's citeEl diacute;a sentilde;alado/cite; and the Greater Cauca Region by Jorge Isaacs' citeMaria/cite to Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazaacute;bal's citeEl bazar de los idiotas/cite. A discussion of the modern and postmodern novel concludes the study, with special consideration given to the works of Garciacute;a Maacute;rquez and Moreno-Duraacute;n.PWritten in a style accessible to a wide audience, citeThe Colombian Novel/cite will be a foundational work for all students of Colombian culture and Latin American literature.P
