"This volume is a useful reference tool for new users as well as experts... The editor has been successful in concentrating a daunting amount of material into a concise and user-friendly, yet substantial, reference work." -- American Reference Books Annual"Smith has done an excellent job of creating a more portable, certainly abbreviated, yet very useful and comprehensive desktop version of that 1000-page tome for quick reference...This book belongs on the desk of every scholar of Latin American literature. Recommended for all libraries." -- Library Journal"The TLS reviewer wrote that 'at a time when much academic literary criticism is frankly unreadable, it is a pleasure to come across so much well-wrote prose,' and I certainly learned a great deal from leafing through this book." -- Reference Reviews
