In this book, Martin Stabb explores how these changes made their way into the essayistic writings of twenty-six Spanish American intellectuals. Stabb posits that dissent?against ideology, against simplistic notions of technological progress, against urban values, and even against the direct linear expository style of the essay itself?characterizes the work of these contemporary essayists. He draws his examples from major canonical figures, including Paz, Vargas Llosa, Fuentes, and Cortázar, and from lesser-known writers who merit a wider readership, such as Monterroso, Zaid, Edwards, and Ibargüengoitia. This exploration overturns many conventional assumptions about Latin American intellectuals and also highlights some of the other achievements of authors famous primarily for novels or short stories. 606 $aSpanish American essays$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish American prose literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aSpanish American essays$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish American prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a864 700 $aStabb$b Martin S.$01717451 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826185603321 996 $aThe dissenting voice$94113715 997 $aUNINA
