Publisher Synopsis
"Mapping the Amazon: Literary Geography After the Rubber Boom navigates the complexity of Amazonian literature with intelligence and deftness. With theoretical sophistication and an ethical commitment to contextualizing her material historically and geographically, Amanda Smith has produced lucid new readings of Jose Eustasio Rivera, Romulo Gallegos, Mario Vargas Llosa, Cesar Calvo, and Marcio Souza. The final discussion is a beautiful, unexpectedly affirming conclusion to a book full of sharp critical insights."Jennifer L. French, Williams College Read more...
