History and profile
edit
Vuelta
was founded by poet
Octavio Paz
in December 1976
following the controversial dismantling of the workers' cooperative that ran the daily newspaper
Excélsior
. The magazine ceased publication following Paz's death in 1998.
The magazine published an important group of international intellectuals and writers, from Mexico, Latin America, the United States, and Europe, many of whom Paz met during his remarkable career. These included
Carlos Fuentes
Mario Vargas Llosa
Gabriel Zaid
E.M. Cioran
Enrique Krauze
Jorge Luis Borges
Adolfo Bioy Casares
Samuel Beckett
Milan Kundera
Czesław Miłosz
Susan Sontag
John Kenneth Galbraith
Leszek Kołakowski
Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Isaiah Berlin
, and
Reinaldo Arenas
, among others.
Paz published a collection of poems under the title
Vuelta,
which were written between 1969 and 1974.
In 1988, historian
Enrique Krauze
criticized
Carlos Fuentes
and his fiction in an article
Vuelta
, dubbing him a "guerrilla dandy" for the perceived gap between his Marxist politics and his personal lifestyle, as well as his long absences from the country he wrote about.
This essay contributed to a permanent rift between Paz and Fuentes, formerly close friends, who were also estranged because of Fuentes' support for the
Sandinistas
Vuelta
received the 1993
Prince of Asturias Award
for Communications and Humanities. In the award,
Vuelta
was described as "one of the most important cultural phenomena in the Spanish language".
