At Face Value: Autobiographical Writing in Spanish America - Cambridge Studies in Latin American and Iberian Literature
Sylvia Molloy
This is a study of Spanish American autobiography from its beginnings in the post-colonial nineteenth century to the present day. Spanish American autobiographies are shown to be fascinating hybrids, aspiring to documentary status while unabashedly exalting the self, and dwelling on personal experience while purporting to be exercises in historiography.
