Notes:
183 P., "Demonstrating how Latin American magical realism and Holocaust literature reflect and refract in literary form the carnivalesque spirit of
inversion, intensification of experience, and hallucinatory strangeness. Drawing on the works of Mikhail Bakhtin, Carl Jung, James Frazer, and others, Danow is able to suggest a striking and subtle connection between two genres that on the surface
would appear to have little in common." --Lynn Gelfand, Folklore Forum 29:1 (1998), p. 130.
