内容説明

Perez Firmat looks at the effect of writing in Spanish and English - what he calls "tongue ties" - in a group of bilingual Hispanic writers (Spanish, Spanish American and US Latino). He includes George Santayana (American philosopher), Spanish poets (Pedro Salinas, Luis Cernuda), Spanish-American fiction writers (Calvert Casey, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Maria Luisa Bombal) and US Latino writers (Sandra Cisneros, Richard Rodriguez, Judith Ortiz Cofer). Perez Firmat writes: "the group is heterogeneous, but its members have one thing in common: their careers are shaped, in whole or in part, by a linguistic family romance that involves negotiating between the competing claims and attractions of Spanish and English".

内容説明

'Before it becomes a political, social, or even linguistic issue, bilingualism is a private affair, intimate theater'. So writes Firmat in this ground-breaking study of the interweaving of life and languages in a group of bilingual Spanish, Spanish-American and Latino writers. Unravelling the 'tongue ties' of such diverse figures as the American philosopher George Santayana, the emigre Spanish poet Pedro Salinas, Spanish American novelists Guillermo Cabrera Infante and Maria Luisa Bombal, and Latino memoirists Richard Rodriguez and Sandra Cisneros, Firmat argues that their careers are shaped by a linguistic family romance that involves negotiating between the competing claims and attractions of Spanish and English.
