Translated from the Spanish by Carolyn & John Brushwood. 92 pages. paperback. Cover: Tina Matsch. keywords: Mexico Latin America Literature Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The narration is conveyed in fragments of dialogue, interior monologues, and brief narrative sketches . . The quest for identity, the role of the individual in a modern society, the ambivalent role of sex as a means of communication as well as degradation are familiar themes which unify the fragments of La comparsa.' - Joseph Sommers in AFTER THE STORM: LANDMARKS OF THE MODERN MEXICAN NOVEL . . 'La Comparsa is a fascinating view, often amusing and occasionally eyebrow-raising, of a whole town that has collectively 'let its hair down . . The variegated procession of images, incidents, and conversations provides a satisfying characterization of these humorous persons caught up in uninhibited celebration!' - Walter M. Langford in THE MEXICAN NOVEL COMES OF AGE . . 'La comparsa looks deeply into the part of his fictional world that Galindo knows most intimately - he captures the customs and attitudes of the people who live in the provincial capital of Veracruz. (Provincial in the selection of themes and characters, Galindo once again cleverly avoids the dangers of writing a regional novel.) The city of Jalapa, as it appears in these pages, freed from moral restraints because of Carnival, allows its inhabitants to behave more or less as they really are rather than as what they seem to be. A brief periodic catharsis, Carnival serves as the law of the three unities (time, place and action in this novel!' - Emmanuel Carballo in La Cultura en Mexico. inventory #5156. Codice articolo z5156
