La rica historia literaria de Chile es definida por la presencia de escritoras fuertes tanto como escritores. Figuras como la poeta Gabriela Mistral y las novelistas Isabel Allende y Diamela Eltit destacan como escritoras que han logrado una audiencia mundial durante el siglo XX junto con escritores como Pablo Neruda y Roberto Bola\u00f1o.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

En el siglo XXI, de esta tradici\u00f3n ha nacido una nueva generaci\u00f3n literaria, esta vez dirigida primeramente por escritoras. Las obras de autoras como Alia Trabucco Zer\u00e1n, Alejandra Costamagna, Lina Meruane, Nona Fern\u00e1ndez y otras han ganado cierto reconocimiento en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, no solo en Chile ni el mundo hispanohablante, sino tambi\u00e9n en la literatura mundial. Libros como\u202f<\/span>La dimensi\u00f3n desconocida\u202f<\/span><\/i>(2016) de Fern\u00e1ndez, por ejemplo, han sido publicados por Penguin Random House y Graywolf Press, dos de las editoriales m\u00e1s grandes estadounidenses. Hay docenas de traducciones de obras exitosas\u202fcomo <\/span>La resta\u202f<\/span><\/i>(2014) y\u202f<\/span>Limpia<\/span><\/i>\u202f(2022) de Trabucco Zer\u00e1n, y varias autoras han publicado su obra por grandes distribuidores espa\u00f1oles como Lumen y Editorial Planeta.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pero las redes de circulaci\u00f3n dentro de Chile son bastante importantes tambi\u00e9n. Alquimia Ediciones ha funcionado como un punto de entrada para muchas de estas autoras, y la editorial independiente Los libros de la mujer rota, fundada en 2015 por la propia escritora chilena Claudia Apablaza, ha jugado un papel esencial en dar visibilidad a muchas de estas autoras.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Esta generaci\u00f3n no solo ha disfrutado el \u00e9xito comercial, tanto Meruane como Fernandez han ganado el Premio Sor Juana In\u00e9s de la Cruz en 2012 y 2017, respectivamente. Y tal vez lo m\u00e1s impresionante, una traducci\u00f3n al ingl\u00e9s de\u202f<\/span>La resta\u202f<\/span><\/i>por Trabucco Zer\u00e1n fue finalista del Premio Internacional Man Booker en 2019.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aunque la obra de estas autoras contiene una diversidad de temas y atraviesa una variedad de g\u00e9neros, hay algunas tendencias claras de esta nueva literatura chilena. Para usar\u202f<\/span>La resta\u202f<\/span><\/i>como\u202fun ejemplo, hay una marca definitiva del trauma y la historia de la dictadura: algunos de los libros m\u00e1s exitosos de varias autoras abordan este tema de una manera o otra. Y la literatura expl\u00edcitamente feminista ha surgido tambi\u00e9n; la forma del relato\u2014como los de Apablaza\u2014y la cr\u00f3nica\u2014como\u202f<\/span>Las homicidas\u202f<\/span><\/i>de Zer\u00e1n\u2014han servido como importantes pilares para estos proyectos feministas.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Para terminar, merece ser mencionado que el \u00e9xito de estas autoras ha sido apoyado fuertemente por la presencia de las redes de difusi\u00f3n propias del siglo XXI\u2014blogs, videos y redes sociales. Aunque las autoras siguen empleando su presencia en eventos como varias ediciones de la Feria Internacional de Libros en diferentes ciudades de Am\u00e9rica Latina, BookTok, Bookstagram y sitios de blogs parecen los m\u00e1s \u00fatiles para ganar la atenci\u00f3n del p\u00fablico lector.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingl\u00e9s:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chile\u2019s rich literary history has been defined just as much by its extraordinary women as by its men. Authors such as the poet Gabriela Mistral and novelists Isabel Allende and Diamela Eltit stand out as writers who achieved a global audience during the 20th century\u2014alongside well-known male authors like Pablo Neruda and Roberto Bola\u00f1o.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 21st century, this tradition has given rise to a new literary generation, this time primarily led by female writers. The works of these authors\u2014such as Alia Trabucco Zer\u00e1n, Alejandra Costamagna, Lina Meruane, Nona Fern\u00e1ndez, and others\u2014have gained notable recognition in recent years, not only in Chile and the Spanish-speaking world but also in global literature. Books like Fern\u00e1ndez\u2019s \u201cLa dimensi\u00f3n desconocida\u201d (2016), for example, have been published by major American publishers like Penguin Random House and Graywolf Press. There are dozens of translations of Trabucco Zer\u00e1n\u2019s successful works \u201cLa resta\u201d (2014) and \u201cLimpia\u201d (2022), and several authors have published their work with major Spanish distributors such as Lumen and Editorial Planeta.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But distribution networks within Chile are quite important as well. Alquimia Ediciones has served as a delivery point for many of these authors, and the independent publisher Los libros de la mujer rota, founded in 2015 by Chilean writer Claudia Apablaza, has played an essential role in giving visibility to many of these authors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This generation has not just enjoyed commercial success: both Meruane and Fernandez have won the Sor Juana In\u00e9s de la Cruz Prize in 2012 and 2017, respectively. And perhaps most impressively, an English translation of \u201cLa resta\u201d by Trabucco Zer\u00e1n was a finalist for the International Man Booker Prize in 2019.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the work of these authors contains a diversity of themes and spans a variety of genres, there are some clear trends in this new Chilean literature. Using \u201cLa resta\u201d as an example, there is a definitive mark left by the history and trauma of the dictatorship: some of the most successful books by several authors address this theme in one way or another. And an explicitly feminist literature has also emerged; the form of the short story\u2014like those of Apablaza\u2014and the chronicle\u2014like \u201cLas homicidas\u201d by Zer\u00e1n\u2014have served as important vehicles for these feminist projects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To conclude, it is worth mentioning that the success of these authors has been strongly supported by the presence of 21st-century dissemination networks\u2014blogs, videos, and social networks. Although the authors continue to use their presence at events like various editions of the International Book Fair (FIL) in different cities of Latin America, platforms like BookTok, Bookstagram and blog sites seem the most useful for gaining the attention of the reading public.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
