Too often literary criticism is academic exercise rather than
creative act. For the multifaceted Julio Ortega--respected poet,
dramatist, and novelist in his own right--the act of criticism
becomes profoundly creative, his incisive readings of the text far
transcending the pedantry that may falsely pass for imagination,
intelligence, and rigor. Nearly every Spanish-American writer of
consequence, from Paz to Fuentes, Cortazar to Lezama Lima, has
extolled Ortega's criticism as not merely a reflection but an
essential part of the renaissance that took place in
Spanish-American letters during the late twentieth century. Poetics
of Change brings together Ortega's most penetrating and insightful
analyses of the fiction of Borges, Fuentes, Garcia Marquez,
Carpentier, Rulfo, Cabrera Infante, and others responsible for
great writing from Spanish America. Ortega concerns himself most
with the semantic innovations of these masters of the modern
narrative and their play with form, language, and the traditional
boundaries of genre. Mapping their creative territory, he finds
that the poetics of Spanish-American writing is that of a
dynamically changing genre that has set exploration at its very
heart.
