Books by Philip Swanson

The work of Jose Donoso, the renowned Chilean writer of fiction, is surveyed in this volume, which concentrates on his novelistic prodiction up to 1981. Philip Swanson analyses each novel in detail and plots the twin development of narrative technique and existential outlook.

Introduces and sets out key themes and issues, situating Latin America in a historical, linguistic and cultural context while exploring, conceptual notions such as the European construction of Latin American identity, the redefining of identity from a Latin American perspective and the internationalization of Latin American identity.
