""Probing into the entrenched bond between love, sexuality, and violence and its function of state-building in twentieth century Latin America, this book is a fascinating re-interpretation of the literature within the context of the political and social tumults. Rethinking history in an age when authoritative history is mistrusted, its clarification on the “structure of feeling” of Latin American geo-cultural reality points to a cartographic imagination and re-enchantment of the complex reality. A must read for students of literature, sociology and cultural studies."" Xiaoping Wang, Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature at Tongji University, China. ""In Labyrinths of Love, Alberto Castelli offers sensitive and perceptive new investigations of some of the major voices in Latin American literature. In so doing, he examines various conceptions of love and how they both intersect with and subvert larger sociopolitical concerns. Castelli's volume delivers a strong combination of theoretical understanding and close reading."" James M. Decker (Ph.D.), Co-Editor, Interdisciplinary Literary Studies.
