Roger Atwood
Published by the National University of El Salvador in 2024, this book tells the story of an influential magazine published in El Salvador from 1966 to 1972, La Pájara Pinta, where non-conformist writers experimented with literary forms and themes and gradually channeled their literary aspirations into radical political action by joining guerrilla movements challenging the country’s military order — Based on the private letters of poet Roque Dalton and essayist Italo López Vallecillos and interviews with La Pájara Pinta’s surviving writers and illustrators, this book is “the product of exhaustive bibliographic research and interviews” (La Prensa Gráfica).
