ARAUJO FONTALVO, Orlando. Germán Espinosa: transgression and continuity in the Colombian literary tradition. Atenea (Concepc.) [online]. 2012, n.506, pp.57-69. ISSN 0718-0462.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-04622012000200005.

This article analyzes some of Caribbean author Germán Espinosa’s most significant experiences during his infancy, which, as he affirms, are the essential formative years. Likewise, this article reflects upon the structure, the dynamics and the particularities that characterize that fabric of relationships and disputes that we might call the Colombian literary field. Moreover, it explores the motives that brought about an unusual delay in the due recognition and appreciation of Germán Espinosa’s work. Finally, it offers a more in-depth interpretation of his proposal within the context of the Colombian literary tradition.
