Reviews

This book reflects years of Dr. Frazier-Yoder’s deep intellectual engagement with the works of some of Latin America’s most beloved and respected writers. Her analysis of what she dubs character creation as a vehicle for “epistemological questioning and ontological disruption” allows for fresh interpretations of canonical and lesser-known texts alike. In fact, the four areas of inquiry she identifies in these twentieth-century works feel especially relevant for twenty-first-century readers and scholars of Spanish-language literature. -- Andrea M. Smith, Shenandoah University
