Notes:
Menton rereads every book, article, review, notes and theses written since his first stay in Mexico in 1948-49 until the present for the purpose of finding the theoretical basis of his approaches to literature. His approaches to literature can be summed up in two words: "scrutiny" and "walking." Once he began this task, Menton realized that intrinsic reading is not always enough because it could not be done in a void. As much as a reader analyzes the form of a work with all the variety of technical resources, one has to place it into its sociopolitical context as well as the literary context.

"In the light, The General in His Labyrinth (1983) may be read as yet another variation on the theme of solitary, powerful men whose separation from reality leads to the fracturing of the self, historical agency, and the promise of solidarity."

This work contains fundamental information for geography and town development, politics and society, economics and culture of today's Cuba. It treats numerous aspects apart from the current economic crisis and the relationship to Europe and the USA: tourism, housing and sexual politics, the myth of the revolution and the role of the political opposition, language, literature, film, music, painting and philosophy. The mixture of background information and Cuban history and culture, from the 20th century and articles to the direct present, makes this an equally useful manual today for specialists and aficionados alike.

González Echeverría compiles in Crítica Práctica/Práctica Crítica a brilliant set of essays, scattered before in diverse, specialized mediums, to comment with a broader audience the origins and horizons of narrative works represented in the Latin American world: Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Alejo Carpentier, and Severo Sarduy, who give a temperate and universal voice to our continent. González Echeverría concentrates on the creative zones specific to those authors to discern aspects that up until now have rarely been analyzed.
