Anything But Novel
The first in-depth study in English to analyze post-utopian historical novels written during and in the wake of brutal Latin American dictatorships and authoritarian regimes During neoliberal reforms in the 1980s and 1990s, murder, repression, and exile had reduced the number of intellectuals and Leftists, and many succumbed to or were coopted by market forces and ideologies.

Lejanas, oscuras, son mundos paralelos, vidas posibles, laboratorios donde se experimenta con las pasiones personales» (2000, 124).
