From Mariano Azuela's 1915 novel Los de abajo to Rosamaria
Roffiel's Amora of 1989, fragmented narrative has been one of the
defining features of innovative Mexican fiction in the twentieth
century. In this innovative study, Carol Clark D'Lugo examines
fragmentation as a literary strategy that reflects the social and
political fissures within modern Mexican society and introduces
readers to a more participatory reading of texts.
D'Lugo traces defining moments in the development of Mexican
fiction and the role fragmentation plays in each. Some of the
topics she covers are nationalist literature of the 1930s and
1940s, self-referential novels of the 1950s that focus on the
process of reading and writing, the works of Carlos Fuentes, novels
of La Onda that came out of rebellious 1960s Mexican youth culture,
gay and lesbian fiction, and recent women's writings.
With its sophisticated theoretical methodology that encompasses
literature and society, this book serves as an admirable survey of
the twentieth-century Mexican novel. It will be important reading
for students of Latin American culture and history as well as
literature.
