Dreams of the Abandoned Seducer: Vaudeville Novel (Latin American Women Writers) Paperback - 1998

by Borinsky, Alicia; Borinsky, Alicia [Translator]; Franzen, Cola [Translator];

  • New
  • Paperback

This post-modern, award-winning novel's vaudeville qualities--with characters shuffling on and off the page in rapid succession--are complemented by its exhilarating air of parody. DREAMS draws ingeniously upon the sentimentality and ephemera of popular culture--quoting radio and TV shows, song lyrics, newspaper items, and bits of gossip--while also offering a sterner, more nuanced view of public and private relations.
