hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. Austin. 1988. University Of Texas Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 029277608x. Translated from the Spanish by Thomas C. Meehan. Texas Pan American Series. 186 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Translated Argentina Latin America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Humor has not always been a distinguishing characteristic of Latin American literature. However, a new generation of writers, including Augusto Monterroso, Juan JosE Arreola, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortázar, and Jorge Ibarguengoitia, have skillfully introduced humor in their work, marking a new literary and cultural sophistication in Latin American letters. The work of Fernando Sorrentino (1942-) of Argentina is part of this new tradition. This selection includes Sorrentino's zany novel, Sanitary Centennial, and the short stories A Lifestyle,' In Self-Defense,' Piccirilli ,' The Life of the Party,' The Fetid Tale of Antulin,' and Ars Poetica.' These representative samples of his work reveal not only Sorrentino's satire and humor but also his facility with language and his antipathy to commercialism, senseless bureaucracy, excessive materialism, mindless entertainment, and unintelligible literary and professional language. Like Hernando Genovese, the narrator of Sanitary Centennial, Sorrentino uses humor to unmask a materialistic society that rejects fine literature while it rewards overblown advertising copy for toilets and bidets. Translated in collaboration with Fernando Sorrentino, Sanitary Centennial and Selected Short Stories introduces non-Spanish speakers to a writer who is already winning awards and accolades in Latin America. inventory #10845.
