Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, all acknowledged the deep influence of Faulkner on the writers of the South-American "boom". This essay explores the relevance of this opinion through a close textual analysis of fragments from these authors, looking for converging stylistic patterns and political outlooks, concluding on the peripheral literary spaces that these Southern writers created.
