Two Chileans Who Made Literature Creative in Canada
I write the following brief lines having been witness to a process by which literary theory achieves growth, evolution and function. The initial gesture that attracted my attention was an invitation from a group of Latin Americans resident in Toronto and linked to the Casa Salvador Allende to help them to organize an international short story contest in honour of their late Chilean compatriot, Professor Juan Carlos García Vera. Noting the insistence with which they made the request and having a high regard for Juan Carlos who had passed away in the previous year, I added this task to the many in which I was involved.
