This book has been on my list for over ten years for reasons I had forgotten, but finally I ordered it because I see: it is about family novels and how the split between Americanized protagonists and their families is usually resolved through the killing of a character representing origins.
I can use this for my Gabás abstract. So far we have this, and Sommer, and Yurkievich on Lezama Lima, and that’s motley, but it may serve.
It’s also interesting that these novels use what Ferreira da Silva would call a “logic of obliteration” and not of exclusion: they’re Latin in that way, perhaps. Interestingly, it seems to be Louisiana’s Spanish origins that have been erased.
Axé.
