Reviews for Dialogic Aspects in the Cuban Novel of the 1990s (Monografías A)
The critical apparatus in [Dorado-Otero's book] is impressive for its detail and complexity. One need not know the history of Cuban literature to see how these novels fit into Cuban reality today. It is interesting to read Dorado-Otero's analysis of women's literary expression vis-à-vis that of the male writers. Summing Up: Recommended.
