The 1962 International Writers Meeting in Concepción, where Thiago de Mello and Carolina María de Jesús spoke as representatives of Brazilian literature, is considered today as an inaugural and historic meeting (Bradú, 2019). For Carlos Fuentes, it is in this meeting that the start of the Latin American literature boom is generated, a movement that was only possible under the context that brought together critics and writers alike. This
Encounter, not only had scope in the aesthetic-literary reflection, but was enriched by the voices of new authorial subjectivities, by the markedly political debate between these authors and by the reflection on the limits of the freedom of social expression. Within this germinal environment, the positions of both Brazilian writers account for such tensions and intensities and are testimony to the political and cultural exchange between Chile and Brazil during the sixties of the twentieth century.
