From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emir Rodriguez Monegal (July 28, 1921 in Melo, Uruguay – November 14, 1985 in New Haven, Connecticut) was a literary critic, an editor of Latin American literature, and a professor at the Yale University since 1969[1]. Especially with his editorial guidance of Mundo Nuevo, he was a part of the mid 20th century boom in Spanish American literature that led to many Latin American writers being published outside of their home countries and gaining critical recognition. He wrote key books about Jorge Luis Borges or Pablo Neruda.
