the literatures of the Americas from Whitman to Bolaño
"Anxieties of Experience' offers a new interpretation of US and Latin American literature. Rereading a range of canonical works from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass to Roberto Bolano's 2666, it traces the development and interaction of two distinct literary strains in the Americas: the 'US literature of experience' and the 'Latin American literature of the reader."
Cultural divergence: the US literature of experience and the Latin American literature of the reader -- An inter-American episode: Jorge Luis Borges, Waldo Frank, and the battle for Whitman's America -- Uncommon grounds: the representation of history in Absalom, Absalom!, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Song of Solomon -- Full immersion: modernist aesthetics and the US literature of experience -- Voracious readers: the Latin American lettered city and the US literature of experience -- Epilogue: after Bolaño: toward a contemporary literature.
