The Colombiano of Greenwich Village: Jaime Manrique

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Born and raised in Barranquilla and Bogotá, Colombia, until a teenager, author, critic, and journalist Jaime Manrique has lived most of his life in New York City. While he is a worldwide traveler, having visited countries as diverse as Algeria, Peru, and Spain for his research, he maintains close cultural and literary ties with Colombia. He discusses his literary evolution and transition from Spanish to English since he began publishing his works in the 1970s. He has earned numerous awards and honors in the U.S. and abroad for his works that range from poetry, essays, novels, and autobiography to literary and film criticism. Manrique considers the importance of rethinking canonical authors and recovering marginal figures in Spanish, Latin American, and U.S. Latina/o literary traditions.
