Review:

"Finally, a critical study that is an honest representation of the Latin American New Novel with its inclusion of narratives written in Portuguese as well as in Spanish!"--Nelson H. Vieira

"An accessible Jungian analysis of the liberation of the word from its bondage to gender in modern Brazilian and Spanish American fiction."--Mary L. Daniel

". . . a wide-ranging and well-researched study of gender politics in the Latin American 'new' novel. By comparing and contrasting Brazilian and Spanish American texts, the book produces many original insights into the differences among national cultures."--Darlene J. Sadlier

". . . a welcome contribution to the study of Latin American literatures, providing a refreshing theoretical point of view through the use of Jung's and Campbell's works, and emphasizing the importance of the Brazilian literary tradition, which in the past has been wrongly overlooked."--Chasqui
