Generación del 45

The Generación del 45, in English the Generation of 45, was a group of writers, mainly from Uruguay, who had a notable influence on the literary and cultural life of their country and region. The name comes from the fact that their careers started mainly between 1945 and 1950. The English Wikipedia article lists about thirty members, among them the novelist Juan Carlos Onetti, the poet Idea Vilariño, the poet Ida Vitale, the critic Emir Rodríguez Monegal, the critic Ángel Rama, the essayist Carlos Real de Azúa and the writer Mario Benedetti, whose own biography calls him an integral member of the generation. It is one of the Spanish-language literary groups of the twentieth century and belongs to the Uruguayan tradition.
