{"product_id":"love-and-politics-in-the-anbal-gonz-lez-9780292728943","title":"Love and Politics in the Contemporary Spanish American Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Latin American Literary Boom was marked by complex novels steeped in magical realism and questions of nationalism, often with themes of surreal violence. In recent years, however, those revolutionary projects of the sixties and seventies have given way to quite a different narrative vision and ideology. Dubbed the new sentimentalism, this trend is now keenly elucidated in Love and Politics in the Contemporary Spanish American Novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering a rich account of the rise of this new mode, as well as its political and cultural implications, An?al Gonz疝ez delivers a close reading of novels by Miguel Barnet, Elena Poniatowska, Isabel Allende, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Gabriel Garc? M疵quez, Antonio Sk疵meta, Luis Rafael S疣chez, and others. Gonz疝ez proposes that new sentimental novels are inspired principally by a desire to heal the division, rancor, and fear produced by decades of social and political upheaval. Valuing pop culture above the avant-garde, such works also tend to celebrate agape--the love of one's neighbor--while denouncing the negative effects of passion (eros). Illuminating these and other aspects of post-Boom prose, Love and Politics in the Contemporary Spanish American Novel takes a fresh look at contemporary works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e An?al Gonz疝ez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292728948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292728943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"An?al Gonz疝ez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056732795135,"sku":"9780292728943","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed5f6a29-022e-4fa6-8838-b87fb085622a.jpg?v=1685042957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-and-politics-in-the-anbal-gonz-lez-9780292728943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
