Download or read book La loca de la casa written by Rosa Montero and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La autora emprende un viaje al interior en un juego narrativo lleno de sorpresas. En él se mezclan literatura y vida en un cóctel afrodisíaco de biografías ajenas y autobiografía novelada. Y, así, descubrimos que el gran Goethe adulaba a los poderosos hasta extremos ridículos, que Tolstoi era un energúmeno, que Montero, de niña, fue una enana, y que, con veinte años, mantuvo un estrafalario y desternillante romance con un famoso actor. Pero no deberíamos fiarnos de todo lo que la autora cuenta sobre sí misma: los recuerdos no son siempre lo que parecen.Un libro sobre la fantasía y los sueños, sobre la locura y la pasión, sobre los miedos y las dudas de los escritores, pero también de los lectores. El libro es, sobre todo, la tórrida historia de amor y salvación que hay entre Rosa Montero y su imaginación.
Download or read book Synergy and Subversion in the Second Stage Novels of Rosa Montero written by Mary C. Harges and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosa Montero is one of several prominent journalists and writers of fiction who have emerged in post-Franco Spain. This book focuses on Montero's prose fiction written between 1983 and 1993, the «second stage» in the gradual transformation of her artistic development. It explores the innovative strategies used by Montero to interrogate the social construction of identity and to expose the underpinnings of hierarchical power. Relying on a variety of subgenres, ranging from romance to murder mystery to speculative fiction/fantasy, Montero's work constitutes a synergetic exploitation of the conventions of journalism as well as other popular and literary modes. The resulting eclectic, subversive narrative, informed by ambiguity and experimentation, provides a blatant critique of patriarchal tradition and Francoist ideology.

Download or read book Delirium written by Laura Restrepo and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkably nuanced novel, both a gripping detective story and a passionate, devastating tale of eros and insanity in Colombia, internationally acclaimed author Laura Restrepo delves into the minds of four characters. There's Agustina, a beautiful woman from an upper-class family who is caught in the throes of madness; her husband Aguilar, a man passionately in love with his wife and determined to rescue her from insanity; Agustina's former lover Midas, a drug-trafficker and money-launderer; and Nicolás, Agustina's grandfather. Through the blend of these distinct voices, Restrepo creates a searing portrait of a society battered by war and corruption, as well as an intimate look at the daily lives of people struggling to stay sane in an unstable reality.

Download or read book Weight of the Heart written by Rosa Montero and published by AmazonCrossing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part human and part robot, private investigator Bruna Husky has been hired to locate a stolen diamond. But as Bruna's leads start to drop dead, her case becomes about much more than a stolen gem--and much more dangerous. Traversing the galaxy, Bruna races against the clock to uncover a nuclear power conspiracy that threatens all sentient beings. Traveling from a distant planet populated by an extreme religious sect to landscapes destroyed by rising sea levels, Bruna tries to solve the puzzle of why so many people around her are suffering from toxic radiation. Meanwhile she must cope with a new love and the knowledge of when she will die, to the exact day. Designed for combat, Bruna can manipulate a plasma gun better than she can navigate matters of the heart. This tale of romance, prejudice, and ecoterrorism makes clear that though the future might appear very different in many ways, history can't help but repeat itself.

Download or read book Beyond the Metafictional Mode written by Robert C. Spires and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term metafiction invaded the vocabulary of literary criticism around 1970, yet the textual strategies involved in turning fiction back onto itself can be traced through several centuries. In this theoretical/critical study Robert C. Spires examines the nature of metafiction and chronicles its evolution in Spain from the time of Cervantes to the 1970s, when the obsession with novelistic self-commentary culminated in an important literary movement. The critical portions of this study focus primarily on twentieth-century works. Included are analyses of Unamuno's Niebla, Jarnés's Locura y muerte de nadie and La novia del viento, Torrente Ballester's Don Juan, Cunquiero's Un hombre que se parecía a Orestes, and three novels from the "self-referential" movement of the 1970s, Juan Goytisolo's Juan sin Tierra, Luis Goytisolo's La colera de Aquiles, and Martín Gaite's El cuarto de atrás. Seeking a stronger theoretical basis for his critical readings, Spires offers a sharpened definition of the term metafiction. The mode arises, he declares, through an intentional violation of the boundaries that normally separate the worlds of the author, the fiction, and the reader. Building on theoretical foundations laid by Frye, Scholes, Genette, and others, Spires also proposes a literary paradigm that places metafiction in a position intermediate between fiction and literary theory. These theoretical formulations place Spires's book in the forefront of critical thought. At the same time, his full-scale analyses of Spanish metafictional works will be welcomed by Hispanists and other students of world literature.
