Description
Book SynopsisIn this book, Raymond Leslie Williams traces the themes of history, culture, and identity in Fuentes’ work, particularly in his complex, major novel Terra Nostra.
Trade Review"... it may well be the most useful book on Fuentes available today." oRevista de Estudios Hispanicos "The first book-length study of Terra Nostra, it sets out to prove that this novel exemplifies Fuentes's idea that 'writing implies an engagement with history, culture and identity.' ...Highly recommended for academic and public libraries." oChoice "Fuentes is no longer a Mexican novelist; he is part of world literature, and this book should interest all those who have read him in translation." oFrank Dauster, Professor Emeritus of Spanish, Rutgers University
