Murillo reveals how James Joyce and the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges make irony a fundamental structural principle of their fiction. The kinship between the two writers, the author says in the Introduction, lies in their use of irony to impose upon the reader the task of resolving simultaneous but opposed meanings. The works of Joyce and Borges are not compared but are "juxtaposed" in order to illuminate the reasons for their technique of parody and abstruse allusion.". Seller Inventory # ABE-1683124071494
