THIS has been a year of outstanding fiction and poetry published in Britain from Latin America and Latinx writers.
Resistance by the Brazilian writer Julian Fuks (Charco Press) is a powerful and brilliantly written work that not only deals with the important issue of the “disappeared” during Argentina's dirty war from 1976 to 1982, it also focuses on personal and national memory, belonging, the different forms of exile and the enduring bond of brotherhood.
