The Sea of Becoming ― Approaches to the Fiction of Esther Tusquets

One of the most powerful and original of the women authors who have emerged in post-Franco Spain is Esther Tusquets. Her work has awakened an ever-growing interest among American Hispanists, but, due to the recent publication of her work, published substantive studies of her books are still relatively few. The present volume responds to a perceived need for a unified body of serious critical work, from a variety of perspectives, on the literary production of this dynamic and original writer. It includes ten essays, interviews, and an annotated bibliography--the first ever available on Tusquets.
