Publisher's Synopsis
This book was the first to introduce Silviano Santiago, the renowned Brazilian novelist, theorist and critic, to an English-speaking audience. It surveys Santiago's theorisations of Brazilian modernism, (including his key concepts of 'in-betweenness' and 'hybridity'); examines his literary critical and fictional relations to postmodernism; and presents Santiago's voice in a unique five-way dialogue with some of his most celebrated readers.
