About this product
Product Information
The product of a unique collaboration between a literary critic (Van Delden) and a political scientist (Grenier), this book looks at the relationship between literature and politics in Latin America, a region where these two domains exist in closer proximity than perhaps anywhere else in the Western world. The apparently seamless blending of literature and politics is reflected in the explicitly political content of much of the continent's writing, as well as in the highly visible political roles played by many Latin American intellectuals. Yet the authors of this book argue that the relationship between the two realms is much more complex and fraught with tension than is nowadays recognized. In examining these tensions, and in revealing the diverse ways in which literature and politics intersect in the Latin American cultural tradition, Gunshots at the Fiesta offers a lively challenge to the current tendency--especially strong in the U.S. academy--to read Latin American literature through a narrowly political prism. The authors argue that one can only understand the nature of the dialogue between literature and politics if one begins by recognizing the different logics that operate in these different domains. Using this idea of the different logics of politics and literature as a guiding thread, Van Delden and Grenier offer bold new readings of major authors such as Jos Mart , Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel Garc a M rquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa, as well as compelling interpretations of works by less-frequently-discussed figures such as Claribel Alegr a, Marisol Mart n del Campo and V ctor Hugo Rasc n Banda.

Reviews
This book makes a gigantic contribution to our understanding of the power of the pen in political life. --Michael Keren, University of Calgary, author ofPolitical Literature in the Twentieth Century., This book makes a gigantic contribution to our understanding of the power of the pen in political life. --Michael Keren, University of Calgary, author of Political Literature in the Twentieth Century ., "Spirited and unsparing, Gunshots at the Fiesta takes dead aim at the politicization of Latin American literary studies. Offering a sharp critique of this trend, the authors point the way toward a more nuanced view of the complicated--sometimes conflicted--relation between the aesthetic and the political." --Gustavo Perez Firmat, Columbia University, "This book makes a gigantic contribution to our understanding of the power of the pen in political life." -- Michael Keren , University of Calgary, author of Political Literature in the Twentieth Century

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
