"In Unhomely Rooms, Roberto Ignacio Diaz explores the practice of writing in English and French by Spanish American authors of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Traditionally, writers such as the Comtesse Merlin (a Cuban-French author) and W.H. Hudson (The Anglo-American best known for his ornithological works) have been excluded from the established discussion of Spanish-American literature because they wrote in a language other than Spanish. Seeking to revise the notion that "heterolingualism" should lead to literary-historical elision, Diaz underscores the ties that bind the works of these authors to the Spanish American literary canon. Through his close readings of texts by Merlin and Hudson, as well as Maria Luisa Bombal, G. Cabrera Infante and Carlos Fuentes, foreign tongues emerge as valid, if perplexing, tools of writing for Spanish Americans. Even as he exposes the cultural fragmentation of Spanish America, Diaz's critical gesture allows strangeness to become an integral part not only of individuals, as Freud argues in "The Uncanny," but also of national cultural communities."--Jacket.

Jaime Manrique weaves into his own memoir the lives of three important twentieth-century Hispanic writers: the Argentine Manuel Puig, author of Kiss of the Spider Woman; the Cuban Reinaldo Arenas, author of Before Night Falls; and Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca. Manrique celebrates the lives of these heroic writers who were made outcasts for both their homosexuality and their politics.

Onetti, Puig and Valenzuela, writers linked by their common geography and history, share and explore a post-colonial emptiness, a constant questioning of realism and a love of tango. Onetti, Puig and Valenzuela have not had the same level of international acclaim as Borges, García Márquez or Vargas Llosa, but they are equally intellectually challenging, and their work adds much to the breadth and depth of twentieth-century Latin American literature. This book starts with Onetti's first novella, the intricate, fragmented El pozo, and finishes with Valenzuela's Cola de lagartija, a strange, quasi-baroque work of darkhumour and powerful political overtones. It has separate sections on each of the three writers, which balance close readings of selected passages with tightly woven theoretical analysis. The fact that this set of texts is from a specific time and place, the Cono Sur from 1939 to 1983, gives the work intellectual coherence; and it is methodologically consistent in its use of a set of co-ordinates from, amongst other sources, psychoanalytic and feminist theory, from Lacan, Irigaray and Kristeva, which are integrated into the vision of the novels as they are analysed. Onetti, Puig and Valenzuela are seldom viewed together, but Craig argues that their common geography and historyare crucial, and that these particular writers share and explore in their work a post-colonial emptiness, a constant questioning of realism and a love of tango. LINDA CRAIG is Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at the University of East London.
