Rudolfo A. Anaya

"Rudolfo A. Anaya's seven novels can all be viewed in terms of the Chicano literary tradition though their rich texts have earned Anaya a place of respect in mainstream modern American literature. Fernandez Olmos guides the reader through Anaya's literary world with clear signposts, illuminating the mythical, cultural, and linguistic complexities of his astounding stories. This work devotes a chapter to each novel, enabling Fernandez Olmos to guide the reader through each, showing the patterns and variations of literary devices in Anaya's works, while offering interesting alternative interpretations of Anaya's writing. Student readers and researchers will find the bibliography, which includes reviews, criticisms, and other secondary sources, to be very helpful."--BOOK JACKET.
