Autores
Resumen del Libro
In the selected novels by Ana Clavel, Gonzalo Celorio, Luis Gonzalez de Alba and Carlos Fuentes, the city appears not only as the setting but also as an interactive entity, full of complexities and contradictions wherein we find various functions and perceptions. The different plots unfold depicting their protagonists awareness, or lack thereof, of the city and their negotiation of it as a milieu containing historical and personal memory.
