Team work

Hello Darja, I think this article is going to be one the featured articles!!, this week I have many essays and mid terms exams so I will be a little busy but do you think we can meet us some day of the weekend or on the next week. Hope to hear from you soon so that we can achieve this. --Miriamcc (talk) 22:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)miriam--Miriamcc (talk) 22:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Borges

Why isn't he listed as one of the major representatives of the boom? Gatherton 06:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because he isn't one. --Jbmurray 11:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me why he isn't one of the major representatives? Gatherton 21:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because he's not a member of the Boom. You might want to say he's a precursor, but he's not a Boom writer. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 07:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I came here to ask the very same question. I see that Borges' writing is very different from those listed here in the Boom; but if the Boom authors are defined only as writers active mid-20th century in Latin America, then he would seem to fit the description, no? Perhaps the thing to do would be to give a more restrictive definition, and to provide a published reference stating it explicitly? We might also want to devote a sentence or two to explaining why Borges doesn't fit the description, since some people are bound to wonder, even if we do provide a more specific definition. Those would be my desiderata at least, as an unabashed fan of both Borges and Laura Esquivel. :) Hoping these suggestions are helpful, Willow (talk) 02:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
