Abstract
By the 1920s, many Latin American cities were well into an epoch of dramatic change marked by economic modernization, rapid industrialization and urban growth. In Urban Chroniclers in Modern Latin America, Viviane Mahieux provides a compelling account of the transformation of the cronica urbana within this historical context by examining the writings of five chroniclers: Roberto Arlt and Alfonsina Storni in Buenos Aires; Salvador Novo and Cube Bonifant in Mexico City; and Mario de Andrade in Sao Paulo. The Latin American cronica, or chronicle, is defined as “a somewhat unstructured genre that combines literary aestheticism with journalistic form” (1).
