Deconstructing Paradise

Inverted Religious Symbolism in Twentieth-Century Latin American Literature

von Patricia E. Reagan

160 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Deconstructing Paradise investigates fiction by Arlt, Asturias, Borges, Castellanos, Cortázar, Donoso, García Márquez, Garro, Rulfo, Vargas Llosa, and other authors that inverts Christian symbols to generate a social, political, cultural, or even artistic commentary. Each text underscores a search for meaning that rejects the centering presence of the more traditional Christian focus and, when considered together, the texts underscore a broad pattern to facilitate the synthesis of a large body of twentieth-century Latin American literature.
