Description: This book aims to offer a portrait of what I consider one of the most significant trends in Venezuelan literature of the late 20th century and the new millennium: the collective critique of the developmentalist optimism common in state discourses, particularly during the 1960s and 1970s, but not absent from the official imagination or from that of broad sectors of the population at the time of writing these pages, in mid-2017.
