Too often literary criticism is academic exercise rather than creative act. For the multifaceted Julio Ortegarespected poet, dramatist, and novelist in his own rightthe act of criticism becomes profoundly creative, his incisive readings of the text far transcending the pedantry that may falsely pass for imagination, intelligence, and rigor. Nearly every SpanishAmerican writer of consequence, from Paz to Fuentes, Cortzar to Lezama Lima, has extolled Ortegas criticism as not merely a reflection but an essential part of the renaissance that took place in SpanishAmerican letters during the late twentieth century.Poetics of Change brings together Ortegas most penetrating and insightful analyses of the fiction of Borges, Fuentes, Garca Mrquez, Carpentier, Rulfo, Cabrera Infante, and others responsible for great writing from Spanish America. Ortega concerns himself most with the semantic innovations of these masters of the modern narrative and their play with form, language, and the traditional boundaries of genre. Mapping their creative territory, he finds that the poetics of SpanishAmerican writing is that of a dynamically changing genre that has set exploration at its very heart.
