Introduction : What we talk about when we talk about Latinx literature -- Brown like me? The author-function, proper names, and the rise of fictional nobodies -- Confounding the mimetic : the metafictional challenge to representation -- From where I stand : the intimacy and distance of we and you in the short story -- The lyric, or, a radical singularity in Latinx verse -- Conclusion : Thinking beyond limits.
Summary: "Latina/o Literature Unbound asks if and how it helps to identify a corpus of literature as Latina/o. It proposes that an ethnic marker may not be a salubrious way to understand this literature. It suggests genre as a more productive way to understand the literature we have heretofore labeled Latina/o"-- Provided by publisher.
