- catalog abstract ""Juan Goytisolo is arguably Spain's foremost contemporary novelist. Juan Goytisolo and the Poetics of Contagion is one of the few major studies in English to examine all of his mature works, from Senas de identidad in 1966 to Las semanas del jardin, published in 1997. It focuses on the interface between the thematic content of the novels and its formal expression, viewing this as the crucial nexus of their meaning." "From being a politically committed writer of realist fiction, since the publication of Senas de identidad in 1966 Goytisolo has become one of Spain's most radically experimental writers of complex, self-reflexive novels. He remains, however, a deeply political writer, committed to an array of social causes, all with the common denominator of combating intolerance, injustice and repression. Goytisolo's writing is, in his own words, a 'commitment of myself ... for a transformation of the world'. The Poetics of Contagion dissects the nature of the relationship between writer and reader to show how Goytisolo's continued political commitment is enacted in aesthetic terms through a subversion of the reading process in an attempt to contaminate or infect the reader with his sense of passionate outrage."--Jacket.".
