Description: Writing and the Revolution : Venezuelan Metafiction 2, Paperback by Brown, Katie, ISBN 1800854919, ISBN-13 9781800854918, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In contrast to recent theories of the global Latin American novel, this book reveals the enduring importance of the national in contemporary Venezuelan fiction, arguing that the novels studied respond to both the nationalist and populist cultural policies of the Bolivarian Revolution and
Venezuelas literary isolation. The latter results from factors including the legacy of the Boom and historically low levels of emigration from Venezuela. Grounded in theories of metafiction and intertextuality, th provides a close reading of eight novels published between 2004 (the year in
which the first Minister for Culture was appointed) and 2012 (the last full year of President Chvezs life), relating these novels to the context of their production. Each chapter explores a way in which these novels reflect on writing, from the protagonists as readers and writers in different
contexts, through appearances from real life writers, to experiments with style and popular culture, and finally questioning the boundaries between fiction and reality. This literary analysis complements overarching studies of the Bolivarian Revolution by offering an insight into how Bolivarian
policies and practices affect people on an individual, emotional and creative level. In this context, self-reflexive narratives afford their writers a form of political agency.
