Mexico and the New Puritans

T0
How do literary and aesthetic movements work across countries and languages? Acclaimed Mexican novelists Ignacio Padilla and Pedro Angel Palou talk with New Puritans Matt Thorne and Ben Richards, and discuss the ways in which a literary movement that took London by storm has resonance across the Atlantic and in the heart of Mexican literature. Ignacio Padilla is the author of several novels, including the acclaimed Amphitryon. Pedro Angel Palou is author of numerous works, including Amores Enormes. Matt Thorne is co-editor of All Hail the New Puritans, and author of Eight Minutes Idle. His forthcoming novel, Child Star, will be published in April 2003. New Puritan Ben Richards is author of The Silver River and A Sweetheart Deal, as well as the forthcoming The Mermaid and the Drunks.
