| Summary: | "The Rolando Hinojosa Reader, edited by José David Saldívar, is a collection of critical essays that addresses the complex relationship between contemporary literary theory and Chicano literature -- a literature that is not part of the traditional literary canon. The contributors, including Yolanda Julia Broyles, Héctor Calderón, Margarita Cota-Cárdenas, Lauro Flores, Patricia de la Fuente, Rolando Hinojosa, Luis Leal, José David Saldívar, Ramón Saldívar, María I. Duke dos Santos, and Rosaura Sánchez, draw upon a diverse array of theories -- Marxist, feminist, post-structuralist -- to make fresh, critical comments, not only on Rolando Hinojosa's work, Klail City Death Trip series, but also on literary theory today. Rolando Hinojosa is considered to be the foremost Chicano novelist. A master of satire, humor, and understatement, Hinojosa has nurtured his characters through generations in the history of his fictional Rio Grande Valley town, Klail City... Rolando Hinojosa is a Professor of English and Creative Writing at The University of Texas at Austin."--Page 4, cover. |
