<p>Focusing on fiction from the 1970s to the present, Williams discusses the new generation of postmodern writers, which includes the Cuban Severo Sarduy, the Argentine Ricardo Piglia, the Chilean Diamela Eltit, the Puerto Rican Luis Rafael Sanchez, the Mexicans Jose Emilio Pacheco and Carmen Boullosa, the Colombians Albalucia Angel and R. H. Moreno-Duran, and the Ecuadorian Jorge Enrique Adoum, as well as many others.<br>With topics of discussion ranging from political agendas, subversion, and parody to truth claims, marginalism, and the testimonio, Williams' argument not only supports postmodernism as a legitimate movement, but he also extends its authority from the North Atlantic region to the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Southern Cone.</p>
