Castillo, Debra A. The Translated World: a Postmodern Tour of Libraries in Literature
Tallahassee, Florida Florida State University Press 1985 0813007925 / 9780813007922 Softcover Very Good
Index, notes. "Castillo's book on the metaphor of the library is an ambitious compound of critical analysis and theoretical speculation. The idea of culture as written, collected, classified, and nearly ossified by system has, of course, received an almost obsessive attention in recent theory. I do not recall, however, another work which so thoroughly engages the most comprehensive image of the self-reflexive discourse reflecting upon itself, looking into the books within the books within the books, exponentially, which cram the shelves and swell the catalogues of historical consciousness. It is also a study of narrativity which moves across languages and forms, in writers from Cervantes to Borges to Beckett" (Herbert Blau, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, rear cover blurb) . ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 356 pages
