New Readings of Silvina Ocampo: Beyond Fantasy (Monografías A, 359) By Patricia N Klingenberg Hardcover 1855663082 9781855663084 New Readings of Silvina Ocampo: Beyond Fantasy (Monografías A, 359) Argues for Ocampos multifaceted development of ambiguity in various media and genres on the levels of language, plot and gender. The critical essays in this volume are dedicated to the works of Argentine writer Silvina Ocampo (1903 1993) and introduce readers fully to a figure who has long been a kind of insiders secret among intellectuals of her country. As the title suggests, the purpose of the volume is to move beyond the codification of Ocampos use of the supernatural, an early oversimplification of her work. The essays address the quirkiness, cruelty, violence, and overtsexuality of her works, elements which have impeded a full understanding of her creative vision. Here it becomes clear that Silvina Ocampo was a co contributor to the literary enterprise of the Sur generation, which produced Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Victoria Ocampo, and had a profound influence on writers of the younger generation, such as Alejandra Pizarnik, Sylvia Molloy, Marjorie Agosín and others.
