Contemporary literature in Colombia

Characteristics
 
The contemporary Colombian literary movement is highly influenced by the 
political history of the country. In novelistic production, themes such as internal 
war, drug trafficking, corruption, among others, are reflected.
Likewise, the national identity has come into force. Evidence of this is the large 
number of works on the political, cultural and social history of the country.
