At the turn of the millennium, narrative works by Latin American
women writers have represented madness within contexts of
sociopolitical strife and gender inequality. This book explores
contemporary Latin American realities through madness narratives by
prominent women authors, including Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay),
Lya Luft (Brazil), Diamela Eltit (Chile), Cristina Rivera Garza
(Mexico), Laura Restrepo (Colombia) and Irene Vilar (Puerto Rico).
Close reading of these works reveals a pattern of literary
techniques--a ""poetics of madness""--employed by the writers to
represent conditions that defy language, make sociopolitical crises
tangible and register cultural perceptions of mental illness
through literature.
