Family Secrets and Narrative Structure in Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You
Celeste Ng’s novel Everything I Never Told You (2014) has been said to combine some stock ingredients of literary thrillers with other less customary features that complicate its classification in that genre. Although we learn from page one that the protagonist of the novel, sixteen-year-old Lydia Lee, is dead, discovering who is behind the possible murder of this Chinese American girl proves to be one of the lesser mysteries in the story. While …
Vexing Motherhoods in Ireland and Abroad in Nuala Ní Chonchúir’s Mother America
1. Introduction: On Motherhood in Ireland As Dally and other theorists (Badinter, Chodorow, Forna, and Swigart, to mention but a few) have argued, although relatively young in human history – the first references in English date back to the late 16th century –, the concept of motherhood has evolved very quickly during the last two millennia
Alternative Ways of Challenging and Resisting in Richard Rodriguez’s Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography
There are several reasons why essayist Richard Rodriguez could be classified as a ‘minority’ writer; namely, his Mexican-American roots, his Catholic faith, and his self- declared homosexuality. However, readers who expect his writings to display the kind of attitudes and features that are common in works by other ‘minority’ authors are bound to be disappointed. The meditations that Rodriguez offers are far from clearly dividing the world between…
Stretching the concept of citizenship in Spain on the threshold of the 21st Century
La Constitución española de 1978, aprobada tras el fin de la dictadura franquista, confirió a las comunidades autónomas notable libertad para definir sus propias políticas en determinados ámbitos. Aunque sería difícil hablar de una forma de gobierno federal, es cierto que las autoridades regionales han conseguido sustanciales cuotas de poder en áreas como la sanidad, la educación o la vivienda. Al mismo tiempo, las definiciones tradicionales de c…

Cormac McCarthy’s The Road: Rewriting the Myth of the American West 1
This article argues that Cormac McCarthy’s latest novel, The Road (2006), marks a clear departure from the interests and aesthetics he showed in his earlier works of fiction. Apart from the fact that the Rhode Island-born writer embarks for a first time in his long career on a popular sci-fi sub-genre such as the post-apocalyptic novel, the book exhibits a number of thematic, structural, and stylistic patterns which differ quite radically from th…
Dominican-American auto-ethnographies: Considering the boundaries of self-representation in Julia Álvarez and Junot Díaz
This article explores some of the dilemmas faced by minority autobiographers when they set out to represent their life stories in writing. While significant benefits may be derived from this self-conscious enterprise, bicultural authors are sometimes unaware of the boundaries -or frames- that the mainstream culture demarcates for their self-portrayals. My analysis of Julia Álvarez’s ¡Yo! (1997) and Junot Díaz’s Drown (1996), which could both be c…
Discursive stratagems: Ambrose Bierce's attacks on realism's metaphysics of language
This article explores the stylistic devices and narrative techniques that the late 19th-century great American satirist employed to subvert and ridicule his contemporaries' understanding of language and of its relationship to reality. According to Bierce, language is not merely a constative and aseptic means to represent the world around us and communicate ideas. On the contrary, all discourses are loaded with a great deal of power and knowledge …
