A brilliant contribution to the field that speaks to diverse interests, covering both canonical and cutting-edge approaches and featuring first-class scholarship: rigorous, exhaustive and elegantly written" - Gabriel Giorgi, author of Formas comunes: Animalidad, biopolÍtica, cultura

"This smart, insightful, and novel study is an example of great scholarship, bringing together compelling critical infrastructure with a comparative and close reading methodology that makes the reader rethink their ideas about twentieth-century realism and the novel as an instrument of universal cultural translation." - Alejandra Uslenghi, author of Latin America at Fin-de-SiÈcle Universal Exhibitions: Modern Cultures of Visuality
