<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published in Spanish as: Arguedas/Vargas Llosa: dilemas y ensamblajes. Madrid: Iberoamericana; Frankfurt am Main: Vervuert; Lima: Libreraia Sur, 2013.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>An English-language translation of the MLA Katherine Singer Kovacs Prize and LASA Premio Iberoamericano award-winning Spanish-language book, Arguedas/ Vargas Llosa. Dilemas y ensamblajes, Mabel Moraña offers the first comparative study of two of contemporary Latin America's central literary figures: Mario Vargas Llosa and Jose Maria Arguedas.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book provides a groundbreaking analysis of the most prominent writers of contemporary Peru, in which literary works and cultural performances are illuminated through the categories and propositions of postcolonial theory. The study entails a discussion of thematic choices, representational strategies and political contexts, as well as a daring analysis of Vargas Llosa's Nobel Prize and Arguedas' suicide as paradigmatic instances in these authors' cultural and ideological development. Topics such as <i>indigenismo</i>, archaism, modernity, otherness, popular culture, and cultural diversity traverse through this book, which constitutes, more than a traditional academic exercise, a critical intervention in the field of Latin American studies. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mabel Moraña is William H. Gass Professor of Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, where she is the Director of the Latin American Studies Program.
