The following bibliography is intended to include only those works in which a new contribution is made to the study of the family. I have not had access to some, but the descriptions of all species except those of Provancher have been quoted by Champion, Uhler or Stal and are thus made available. These books and papers have been freely used, especially for verification of detaiis and for localities, credit being given in those cases where an author is wholly or partially responsible for the characters used in keys, etc. No attempt has been made to give a separate and complete bibliography for each species. With each genus is given a list of the most easily accessible and useful references. In practically all cases a good description of all the species will be found by referring to these works. They are mentioned by author and page. Where more than one work is accredited to an author in the following list, they are distinguished by (a), (b). etc. Additional information about many of them may be obtained from the partial bibliography by Nathan Banks.

This collection of essays looks at the most recent work of Juan Goytisolo from a variety of perspectives and critical stances. The contributors, all specialists in the work of the Spanish author, employ theories of intertextuality, postmodernist irony, queer ethics and even the esoteric science of Hurufism to uncover the complexities of Goytisolo's creative practice, in particular his radical blurring of the generic boundaries between fiction, autobiography and literary criticism. Such challenging of genre conventions is seen as both integral to the author's own questioning of his identity as an expression of his radical dissidence and essential to the response his work evokes in the reader. Life and writing, autobiography and fiction, constitute the interconnecting poles of Goytisolo's artistic universe. The essays included in this volume explore the varying patterns of confluence of these twin strands in the writer's later work as a whole, but particularly in novels such as Las semanas del jardin (1997) and Carajicomedia (2000). The essays are set in context by a contribution from Juan Goytisolo himself in which he sums up his philosophy of life and writing as a pursuit of 'non-profitable knowledge'.
