It departs from sociopolitical readings by noting the continued relevance of religion in Latin American life and culture, despite modernity's powerful secularizing influence. Analyzing Jorge Luis Borges's secularized "narrative theology" in his essays and short stories, the book follows the development of the Latin American novel from the early twentieth century until today by examining the attempts of major novelists, from MariÌa Luisa Bombal, Alejo Carpentier, and Juan Rulfo, to Julio CortaÌzar, Gabriel GarciÌa MaÌrquez, and JoseÌ Lezama Lima, to "sacralize" the novel by incorporating traits present in the sacred texts of many religions. It concludes with a view of the "desacralization" of the novel by more recent authors, from Elena Poniatowska and Fernando Vallejo to Roberto BolanÌo."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Latin American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Latin American fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Religion in literature. 830 0 $a Illuminations (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 856 $u http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030193606&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA $z Inhaltsverzeichnis 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402014330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64CDD51026B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
