Books by Lois Parkinson Zamora

This 1989 book is a comparative literary study of apocalyptic themes and narrative techniques in the contemporary North and Latin American novel. Zamora explores the history of the myth of apocalypse, from the Bible to medieval and later interpretations, and relates this to the development of American apocalyptic attitudes.

This collection brings together critical writing which examines questions of identity and community in the fiction of contemporary American women writers: among them Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and Sandra Cisnernos.
