Argues for Ocampo's multifaceted development of ambiguity in
various media and genres on the levels of language, plot and
gender. The critical essays in this volume are dedicated to the
works of Argentine writer Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993) and introduce
readers more fully to a figure who has long been a kind of
insider's secret among intellectuals of her country. As the title
suggests, the purpose of the volume is to move beyond the
codification of Ocampo's use of the supernatural, an early
oversimplification of her work. The essays address the quirkiness,
cruelty, violence, and overtsexuality of her works, elements which
have impeded a full understanding of her creative vision. Here it
becomes clear that Silvina Ocampo was a co-contributor to the
literary enterprise of the Sur generation, which produced Jorge
Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Victoria Ocampo, and had a
profound influence on writers of the younger generation, such as
Alejandra Pizarnik, Sylvia Molloy, Marjorie Agosin and others.
