Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In seven chapters, Craft argues for a new, generic recognition for what used to be known as 'political novels.' Discussion is generally convincing, well-researched, and occasionally revealing. The first two chapters and their conclusions are similar to accepted scholarly arguments. Craft is at her best when analyzing works by Claribel Alegrâia, Manlio Argueta, and Belli, in that order. More attention could have been given to Sergio Ramâirez's development, which does not fit into the author's thesis, andto Rigoberto Menchâu. A noteworthy error: Monterroso never wrote a book titled 'Mr. Taylor & Co.' (the actual title story is from the 1950s). The title refers to a Cuban selection of his stories"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
