Notes:
Laporte mentions that the new book by the Chilean author, Alberto Fuguet, with the tentative title Las películas de mi vida, is judged by the critics as a "rotten product of globalization." For many Latin American authors who consider writing as a medium to speak about nationalism, postcolonialism, and history, the irreverence that Fuguet shows toward his land of origin with his tone and the scenes he uses, is a betrayal. Of him it is said that he sold out to American culture and that he is a rotten product of globalization.
