Synopsis

In this first comprehensive critical examination of the works of the distinguished New Mexican man of letters, an international group of scholars confronts Ulibarri's fiction, prose, and poetry. An introduction by Luis Leal outlines the major themes of Ulibarri's work: the recovery of an idyllic past and the use of traditional mythic images in a realistic context. An interview conducted by Maria Duke dos Santos, presented in Spanish and English, covers the development of his literary career. Maria Herrera-Sobek, Gene Steven Forrest, Wolfgang Karrer, and Arnulfo G. Ramirez look at various aspects of the short stories. Bruce-Novoa, Patricia de la Fuente, and Santiago Daydi-Tolson discuss the poetry. James J. Champion compares Ulibarri's formal use of language with Latin American and peninsular writers. Francisco A. Lomeli provides one of the first examinations of Ulibarri's essays.
In addition to these insightful critical essays, the volume includes an appendix with six previously unpublished works by Ulibarri - four poems, a short story, and an essay - and an annotated bibliography of his complete works by Maria Theresa Marquez. A useful book for scholars of Chicano and American literature and those presenting Ulibarri's works to students.
