Literatures of the Americas: At the Intersection of Globalization and Postmodernism

Jaimes, Héctor

This book offers a close reading analysis of contemporary Mexican authors whose novels, in both form and content, are reshaped by the forces of globalization and postmodernism. Drawing on an interdisciplinary approach, the author examines the works of Jorge Volpi, Yuri Herrera, Guillermo Fadanelli, Eloy Urroz, Julián Herbert, Álvaro Enrigue, Valeria Luiselli, Pedro Ángel Palou, Guadalupe Nettel, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, and Mario Bellatin, exploring the themes of globalization, ethics, history, love, and literary forms. By addressing the critical intersections of these issues, the book makes a timely contribution to the study of contemporary Mexican literature in the context of a rapidly changing world.
