Recenzii
"A fascinating read for any Hispanist, comparatist, or student of the magically real. [This work] is a useful reference tool...O --Patricia Hart, World Literature Today
Textul de pe ultima copertă
"This critical collection combines astute and graceful interpretations of well-known literary texts from the Americas while at the same time displaying a rich global understanding of the broad reach of magical realism. Fashioning subtle rethinkings of the magical realist movement, it will shape discussion of postmodern and postcolonial literary histories."--Jose David Saldivar, University of California, Berkeley
