Through close readings and critical theoretical applications, this book demonstrates how archival fiction continues to be one of the most popular strategies among Latin American novelists and, most importantly, how they have successfully managed to find new ways to inscribe their alternative fictions within this tradition. Puig's and Sarduy's novels reproduce discourses-popular culture and the mass media-that lack prestige within the traditional archive. These discourses mirror realities of marginal groups-gay people, children, the poor, the illiterate, women, and racial minorities. Their cultural variants, sub-versions of hegemonic masterstories, are endowed with truth-bearing power for them, but were previously left out of the archive as legitimate novelistic models.
To date, this is the only study of contemporary Latin American fiction that puts current theories of the archive-especially that of Roberto González Echevarría-to practice in such a systematic way. Riobó's analysis of how Puig and Sarduy reformulate the Latin American canon is both a necessary complement of González Echevarría's work and an intelligent answer to the first of his projected masterstories. Riobó's multidisciplinary approach
