"Dr. Duncan's analyses are perceptive and, in the chapters on Guzman and Delgado, exceedingly well wrought; scholars with an interest in contemporary Mexican writing will be indebted to her for charting territory that is as vast as it is relatively unknown.-- ""Modern Language Review"" J. Ann Duncan has written a lucid, informative and distinctive work, whose scope is captured effectively in the title. Within the very rich field of Mexican 'post-boom' narrative, she focuses on those writers whose prose, as the title intimates, is innovative and experimental, whose work 'widens our definition of literature.' The writers to whom chapters are dedicated are Jose Emilio Pacheco (1939), Carlos Montemayer (1947), Humberto Guzman (1948), Esther Seligson (1942), Antonio Delgado (1941), and Jesus Gardea (1939).-- ""Rese�as"""
