Explaining the trend . . . is valuable because it broadens the concept of historical fiction beyond previous scholarly frameworks. Moreover, given that her analysis is firmly rooted in the historical and socio-political circumstances from which these texts emerge, it affords a deeper understanding of how this recent variant of the historical novel critiques the pernicious effects of neoliberalism in Latin American societies.”—Adrian Kane, author of \u003ci\u003eCentral American Avant-Garde Narrative: Literary Innovation and Cultural Change (1926–1936)\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"UNIV OF ALABAMA PR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138185298263,"sku":"9780817361075","price":26.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780817361075.jpg?v=1751918350","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/anything-but-novel-9780817361075","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
