There is a timeliness to this study given the current events taking place in each of the four countries under consideration and perhaps a sense that the post-utopianism of previous decades is giving way to a renewed and sustained critique of neoliberalism."" - Jason A. Bartles, author of Arteletra: The Sixties in Latin America and the Politics of Going Unnoticed “This topic is of importance to the field because there has been a strong utopian impulse in Latin American fiction throughout the 20th century as well as a tradition of historical fiction. Explaining the trend . . . is valuable because it broadens the concept of historical fiction beyond previous scholarly frameworks. Moreover, given that her analysis is firmly rooted in the historical and socio-political circumstances from which these texts emerge, it affords a deeper understanding of how this recent variant of the historical novel critiques the pernicious effects of neoliberalism in Latin American societies.”—Adrian Kane, author of Central American Avant-Garde Narrative: Literary Innovation and Cultural Change (1926–1936)
