The Usable Past: The Imagination of History in Recent Fiction of the Americas
Zamora, Lois Parkinson (University of Houston)
Concentrating on the past as both the subject of fiction and as a force for inscribing fiction, The Usable Past traces the ways in which writers self-consciously participate in the construction of an American canon. Linking Latin American and North American fiction, Zamora explores issues surrounding the ambivalence of history in a 'new' world.
