The adolescent angst novels "La Tumba" (The Tomb, 1964) and "De Perfil" (Profile View, 1966), by José Agustín, stylistically announced a new generation of novelist, writing in the contemporary popular idiom of society, presenting stories of life as lived. The styles of writing of "La Onda" provided Mexican young people with a literature pertinent to their Latin American cultural experience of life "en la ciudad". The writers were published under the library title "Literatura de La Onda" (Literature of The Wave), by the Joaquín Mortiz publishing house.
