Winner of the 2022 International Latino Book Award: Bronze Medal for Fiction Translation, Spanish to English
El feliz ingenio neomexicano is a bilingual recovery edition of Obras de Felipe Maximiliano Chac n, el Cantor Neomexicano: Poes a y prosa, the first collection of poetry published by a Mexican American author. Journalist and author Felipe M. Chac n, part of a distinguished and active family of nuevomexicano authors, published the book in 1924. El feliz ingenio neomexicano (that "inspired New Mexican wit") reestablishes Chac n's work and his reputation by making the text widely available to readers for the first time in nearly a century. With Nogar and Mel ndez's excellent translation of the text, this bilingual volume offers access to both English and Spanish editions for scholars and students from a variety of disciplines. Additionally, the in-depth introduction and appendix materials gathered by the editors place Chac n's book in the context of the time in which it was printed, offering a unique insight into the work. A welcome volume for scholars and literature lovers alike, El feliz ingenio neomexicano is a groundbreaking work of literary recuperation.
