Agosin, Marjorie Secret Weavers
White Pine Press PAPERBACK Used; Good
Fantastic literature, with its many classifications and variations such as magic-realism or the real-marvelous, has long been part of the latin American critical imagination. Women writers have been a very important component of this genre, but little attention has been paid to their particular tradition of fantastic literature, a tradition that continues to be produced and read today. This anthology traces the history of fantastic literature in Chile and Argentina and includes both the pioneer writers and the innovative writers of today. The stories which represent the variety and complexity of this genre, include fairy tales, science fiction, and metaphorical political tales.
