The "idle fictions" of the vanguard novel of the 1920s and 1930s in
Spain and Spanish America represented a kind of interlude of
playfulness--a vacation or parenthetical insertion--in what was
perceived as the established course of the modern Hispanic novel's
development. Yet, as Perez Firmat argues, though this genre saw
itself as recreative and interstitial, it deliberately precipitated
"a class war not between social classes but between literary
classes." Concentrating on source material not widely available,
Perez Firmat reconstructs the reception these novels received at
the time of their publication, then develops a reading of them
based on the intellectual context of this reception. A new preface
and an appendix on vanguard biographies have been added to this
paperback edition.
