Books
Viajes virales
This is the first book to comprehensively examine Latin America's literary response to the deadly HIV virus. Proposing a bio-political reading of AIDs in the neoliberal era, Lina Meruane examines how literary representations of AIDS enter into larger discussions of community, sexuality, nation, displacement and globalization.
Salidas de madre
"Volumen que contiene 20 cuentos de escritoras chilenas actuales donde el tema compartido de la relación madre e hija permite indagar acerca de los problemas de la identidad femenina y de la diferencia genérica. Aporta una reseña bio-bibliográfica de las autoras incluidas"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
El futuro no es nuestro
A collection of new Latin American short fiction.
Sangre en el ojo
"Seeing Red describes a young Chilean writer recently relocated to New York for doctoral work who suffers a stroke which leaves her blind. It charts her journey through hospitals and an increased dependency on those closest to her to cope. Fiction and autobiography intertwine in an intense, visceral, and caustic novel about the relation between the body, science, and human relationships."--Publisher's website.
