Since then, Stavans has become a polarizing figure, dismissed and praised in equal measure, a commanding if contested intellectual whose work as a cultural critic has been influential in the fields of Latino and Jewish studies, politics, immigration, religion, language, and identity. He can be credited for bringing attention to Jewish Latin America and issues like Spanglish, he has been instrumental in shaping a certain view of Latino Studies in universities across the United States as well abroad, he has anthologized much of Latino and Latin American Jewish literature and he has engaged in contemporary pop culture via the graphic novel. He was the host of a PBS show called \u003cem\u003eConversations with Ilan Stavans\u003c\/em\u003e, and has had his fiction adapted into the stage and the big screen. The man, as one critic stated, clearly has energy to burn and it does not appear to be abating. This collection celebrates twenty-five years of Stavans's work with essays that describe the good and the bad, the inspired and the pedestrian, the worthwhile and the questionable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword - Frederick Aldama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction - Bridget Kevane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife as Role Play: Ilan Stavans, the Life(long) Writer - Isabel Durán\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eEl Iluminado\u003c\/em\u003e: Ilan Stavans and the Incongruity of the Antihero - Irina Troconis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife, Death, and Apotheosis of Words:\u003cem\u003e DIC·TION·AR·Y DAYS\u003c\/em\u003e - Angelina Muñiz-Huberman (translated by Miriam Huberman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCave Paintings: Cervantes, Turbans, and Heresy - Diana de Armas Wilson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom to Pursue the Impossible Dream: Ilan Stavans and \u003cem\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/em\u003e - Iván Jaksić\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStavans Does Quixote - William Childers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlan Stavans, Tongue Snatcher - Steven G.
