"José Luis Venegas situates himself within the critical/?intellectual realm of Spain marginalized from Europe, then Spanish America marginalized from Spain, and finally both Spain and Spanish America marginalized from modernity. He does this with felicitous conciseness, and without in any way, reducing complexity to simplicity. As such,
Transatlantic Correspondence will be of great use to faculty and scholars in Hispanic studies. All of the quotes are in English, so those who may not know Spanish will find this book accessible and useful." --David K. Herzberger, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Hispanic studies, University of California, Riverside
"As in his previous work, it is José Luis Venegas's original and insightful readings of a wide range of texts from Spain and Latin America that engage me. I have no doubt that scholars in Spanish and Latin American literary and cultural studies will also find
Transatlantic Correspondence quite important to their own work." --James D. Fernandez, New York University
