Juan García Ponce: la mirada oblicua es una lectura de la vida y la obra de García Ponce a partir de algunos presupuestos esenciales extraídos de la propia poética del autor. No se trata solo de destacar algunos temas fundamentales y recurrentes de su obra—una sexualidad abierta que no se sustenta en la moral instituida, el incesto entre hermanos, la homosexualidad, el deseo como la fuerza que rige los comportamientos humanos, el rechazo a las...

This is especially so for novels that address traditional tenets of the African society. These novels, however, form a good corpus as a basis for comparative literature, especially looking at the African novel as compared to its European or the American counterpart. Still, the odinary critic is used to earlier African writers including...
