Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legras views the factors that have both formed and stifled the integration of peripheral experiences into Latin American literature. He analyzes key works by novelists Juan Jos Saer (The Witness), Nellie Campobello (Cartucho), Roa Bastos (Son of Man), and Jose Mara Arguedas (The Fox from Up Above and the Fox from Down Below), among others, to provide a theoretical basis for understanding the plight of the author, the peripheral voice, and the confines of the literary medium.
