"The Catastrophe of Modernity examines four very different Latin American writers in the context of their respective national traditions. In a series of theoretical readings of texts by Jorge Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo, Cesar Vallejo, and Ricardo Piglia, Patrick Dove argues that the idea of tragedy offers new ways of understanding the relation between literature and the modern Latin American nation-state."--BOOK JACKET.
