Forth and Back: Translation, Dirty Realism, and the Spanish Novel (1975-1995)

Forth and Back broadens the scope of Hispanic trans-Atlantic studies by shifting the focus to Spain's trans-lingual exchange with the United States at the end of the twentieth century. Highlighting the incipient globalization of literary markets after Franco's death, Forth and Back examines the economic, poetical, and ideological constraints that shaped the keen consumption of U.S. literature by Spanish publishers, readers, and writers.
