Vicente Huidobro and Jorge-Luis Borgès who, in his youth, wrote under the direct influence of the first, are part of the Latin American literary avant-garde of the 20th century. In Chile, in addition to Jean Emar (compatriot and great friend of Huidobro), other writers such as “antinovelist” Juan-Agustín Palazuelos and Mauricio Wacquez worked in the same perspective, in search of a new literature. Several other writers will be added, still under the influence of Huidobro and Jean Emar, uncle of José Donoso, novelist and historian of the “Latin American boom”, which is also mentioned in this article.
