Part of a new phase of post-1960s U.S. Latino literature, The Brief
Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz and Caramelo by Sandra
Cisneros both engage in unique networks of paratexts that center on
the performance of latinidad. Here, Ellen McCracken re-envisions
Gerard Genette's paratexts for the present day, arguing that the
Internet increases the range, authorship, and reach of the
paratextual portals and that they constitute a key element of the
creative process of Latino literary production in 21st century
America. This smart and useful book examines how both novelists
interact with the interplay of populist and hegemonic
multiculturalism and allows new points of entry into these novels.
