商品簡介
The Postmodern Storyteller engages in close textual analysis of three key texts by Jose Donoso, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa, each of which has a first-person non-protagonist observer narrator. This study adds an innovative perspective to ongoing dialogues by contributing to the existing body of criticism of each text and to other topics in studies of narrative, such as the roles of narrator, author, and reader, narcissism, voyeurism, gender, exile, parody, rhetoric, and postmodern and cultural studies.
