These writers came from different countries, social classes and diverse socioeconomic realities. Edwin Williamson considers that the publishing ®rm Seix Barral promoted actively the new novelists who later shaped the movement. Among other reasons there were some aspects that were very appealing to western audiences such as the discovery of Borges by French critics, the Cuban Revolution and the fascination in Europe with`nouvelle roman'. 1 Andrew Debicki comments the birth of the movement in the following manner: by the mid to late 1960s, Spain, and speci®cally Barcelona, had become a publishing center for the whole Hispanic world.

Thanks to its proximity to France and its economic success, the city of Barcelona was at this time the most dynamic and culturally open place in Spain, in contrast to the more bureaucratic Madrid. 2 But some critics still go further.
