What happened in Spanish American fiction after the Boom? Can we define the PostBoom? What are its characteristics? How does it relate to the Boom itself? Is PostBoom the same as Postmodernism or something quite different? Shaw traces the emergence of a different kind of writing which began to displace the Boom in the mid1970s and has flourished ever since. More readerfriendly, more concerned with the here and now of Latin America, the writers of the PostBoom have explored new areas of Spanish American life and incorporated characters from new social groups, especially young workingclass and lower middleclass figures with their distinctive "pop" culture and freewheeling lifestyle. Shaw suggests that, while some Boom writers have moved toward the PostBoom, PostBoom narrative is distinctively different from that of the older movement and cannot be readily assimilated into Postmodernism.
