Theoretical Fables: The Pedagogical Dream in Contemporary Latin American Literature

Through a close reading of eight authors, Borinsky (Latin American and comparative literature, Boston U.) argues that Latin American literature invokes a region beyond literature. By using history, framing a non-causal view of the world, and evoking a feminine realm, she says, it not only dismantles traditional referential frameworks, but offers a post-modern version of the lessons literature can teach.
