Critical theory meets Latin American fiction in this bold and
challenging analysis of literature and literary criticism through
post-structuralist analysis. Focusing on Latin American literary
and critical production from the 1890s to the 1990s, Bernard
McGuirk highlights the confrontation between theory, politics and
literature.
The range of literatures discussed is extensive, including
writings from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico,
Nicaragua and Peru. The symptomatic differences between and within
cultures are illuminated by analysis of texts by such authors
as:
Cesar Vallejo
Jorges Luis Borges
Ruben Dario
Pablo Neruda
Julio Cortazar
Joao Guimaraes Rosa
Susana Thenon
Carlos Fuentes
Bernard McGuirk holds the Chair of Romance Literatures and
Literary Theory at the University of Nottingham. He is currently
President of the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and
Ireland.

This volume of essays constitutes a critical reappraisal of a
front-rank world author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. Apart from extending
critical appreciation of his work to an English-reading public, its
principal objective is to reflect the breadth and variety of
critical approaches to literature applied to a single corpus of
writing; here, the major novels (including Love in the Times of
Cholera, 1986) and a selection of his short fiction are considered.
The aim of this collection, given these dual objectives, is to
extend knowledge of the work of Garcia Marquez and introduce to
both the general reader and to students of literature a plurality
of current critical approaches to his rich variety of fictional
techniques. The volume also includes a bibliography of criticism
available in English and an English translation of the author's
Stockholm Nobel acceptance address.
