Silviano
Santiago in Conversation

This book is the first to introduce Silviano Santiago, the renowned Brazilian novelist, theorist and critic, to an English-speaking audience. It surveys Santiago's theorisations of Brazilian modernism (including his key concepts of "inbetweenness' and 'hybridity"); examines his literary critical and fictional relations to postmodernism; and presents Santiago's voice in a unique five-way dialogue with some of his most celebrated readers.
