Ana Clavel’s “outlaw” desires in Las ninfas a veces sonríen

I argue that the peritextual dimension, which ambiguously anchors but also disru…

While the intellectual conflict between literatura light and literatura difícil, which is at the heart of much of the negative reception of Mastretta's two novels, has been extensively researched, almost no academic studies exist…
