Some Write to the Future - Essays on Contemporary Latin American Fiction (Paperback, New Ed)

Formerly exiled Chilean author Ariel Dorfman, one of Latin America's greatest writers and a major literary figure of the twentieth century, is known for such critically acclaimed works as the novel "Widows" and the play "Death and the Maiden," A master of various literary forms, this collection draws together Dorfman's critical essays on contemporary Latin American writing. Spanning more than twenty years and arranged in chronological order, each essay is devoted to a single author--Miguel Angel Asturias, Jorge Luis Borges, Jose Maria Arguedas, Alejo Carpentier, Gabrial Garcia Marquez, Roa Bastos--and one final essay looks at the "testimonial" or concentration camp literature from Chile.
