RESEARCH INTERESTS: While my general specialization is in the area of twentieth century
Latin American literature, my research interests include the relationship between literature and
art and between philosophy and literature. I have, for instance, written on Severo Sarduy and the
Neo-Baroque image of thought, as well as on the very complex Peruvian writer, César Vallejo,
from a philosophical perspective. My on-going projects consist of reading literary texts vis-à-vis
the philosophical concepts of thinkers like Nietzsche, Deleuze, Guattari, Baudrillard, Badiou,
Levinas, and Dussel, to name a few. Lastly, but certainly not least in the order of importance, is
my interest in creative writing. And in 2011 I was honored with the publication of selections
from my literary work in The Norton Anthology of Latino Literature.
