" The Columbia Guide to the Latin American Novel Since 1945 is a groundbreaking panoramic study. Raymond Leslie Williams discusses briefly, but with consistency, the most important aspects of each work and places each within a historical context in order to bring the reader's attention to the most important issues and themes of the writers and literary periods. This is also the first time in the literary history of Latin America that an author has included not only works written in Spanish but also works written in Brazilian Portuguese, French, English, Spanglish, and Creole. With this book, Williams breaks through linguistic and cultural barriers among Latin American nations." -- Amarilis Hidalgo de Jesus, Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania
