This collection of essays brings together a wide range of Spanish
and Portuguese academics and writers exploring the ways in which
our encounters with literatures in English inform our assumptions
about texts and identities (or texts as identities) and the way we
read them. Mapping, examining, reading and re-reading, fashioning
and self-fashioning and, especially, weaving appear as appropriate
images that convey the complexity and the nature of creative
writing. Such a metaphor has been fundamental for the history of
world literature since the Roman poet Ovid had included a tale in
his Metamorphoses in which weaving, narration, uncertain
identities, and the risks of telling uncomfortable truths all
figure prominently. As such, these essays trace the intertwined
patterns that knit texts together, weaving identities as well as
undoing them and, in the process, interrogating established and
official truths.
