Reviews

Between Camp and Cursi explores an area of study-humor-that demands further research in contemporary Mexican literature. Bisbey's analysis blends together an eclectic yet coherent mix of texts and is sure to be attractive to a wide variety of readers in Mexican literary and cultural studies, Latin American studies, and gender and sexuality studies. - Vinodh Venkatesh, author of Capitan Latinoamerica: Superheroes in Cinema, Television, and Web Series
