Latin American Fiction and the Narratives of the Perverse contains
analysis of sexual perversion and narrative creativity in fictions
from the Latin American boom and post-boom. O'Connor's main
argument is that orthodox criticism of Latin American literature
has neglected the eccentric singularities of other fictive trends
in the corpus (especially in the second half of the
twentieth-century). At the same time, by examining these eccentric
singularities in their relationship to mainstream trends in the
Latin American corpus, O'Connor forces his readers to view these
master narratives and major trends (such as modernismo or magical
realism) from surprisingly new angles. Five of the authors
discussed (Puig, Lezama, Lima, Cortazar and Sarduy) have an
established place in the Latin American literary canon. A fifth
one, Rosario Ferre, may have come close to achieving that status
with her earlier fictions. Others (Felisberto Hernandez, Alicia
Borinsky, Cristina Peri Rossi and Silvia Molloy) are less well
known, but they are certainly highly significant authors for
scholars and students of contemporary Latin American fiction.
