"This book is a series of original, critical meditations on short stories and novels from Central America between 1995 and 2016. During the Cold War, literary art in Central America, as in Latin America in general, was strongly over-determined by the politics of the Cold War, which gave rise to popular struggle and three major armed civil wars in the 1970s and 1980s in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The period produced intense literary activity with political ideology central, personified by social denunciation in the testimonial novel and revolutionary poetry. Since then, though themes of violence are still at much of its core, Central American fiction has become more complex. We have witnessed a resurgence of literary writing and criticism with a focus squarely on the artistic side of narrative art: writing aware of its own figurative manoeuvres and inventiveness, its philosophical and affective dimensions, and its carefully crafted syntax. This collection of essays by Jeffrey Browitt attempts to trace some of the contours of this new literature and the contemporary subjectivities of its writers through close readings of Guatemala's Rodrigo Rey Rosa, Eduardo Halfon and Denise Phé-Funchal; Nicaragua's Franz Galich and Sergio Ramírez; Belize's David Ruiz Puga; El Salvador's Jacinta Escudos and Claudia Hernández; and Costa Rica's Carlos Cortés. Key themes are gender, subjectivity and affect as these intersect with the deconstruction of the family, hegemonic masculinity, motherhood, revolutionary romanticism, and the relationship of humans with animals" --

"From a multifaceted theoretical apparatus and diverse aesthetic proposals, Escritura(s) en femenino en las literaturas centroamericanas reflects on the interrelationships, intersections and differences between women's writing, women's writing(s) and writings in women, in contemporary Central America and its diasporas. Assuming the performative character of both the categories of sex and gender and of writing, the destabilization of binary and essentialist notions and the consequent disconnection between, on the one hand, writing and how it is studied and, on the other, the (supposed) sexual and gender identity. The essays gathered here take up and investigate the fundamental questions of feminist theories and criticism to examine the mobility of the feminine and the masculine in writing, as well as as its cultural and political configurations"--
