(Joaquín García Monge es considerado el creador de la nove...)
Joaquín García Monge es considerado el creador de la novela realista costarricense, como se manifiesta en El Moto (1900) y sus otras publicaciones: Las hijas del campo, Abnegación y La mala sombra y otros sucesos. Su obra literaria se ubica dentro del realismo social, tanto en lo referido a los personajes como a la construcción del mundo campesino, con un criticismo que se distancia de la visión idílica, de la identidad unitaria, del imaginario del concho que del país se había venido construyendo.
