Assistant Professor Marta Pérez-Carbonell contributes article to literary magazine Quimera

Literary Magazine Quimera celebrates Javier Marías, one of Spain’s literary giants, with a special issue dedicated to honor his novelistic and journalistic production. Eight literature scholars who have specialized in his works are invited to contribute with their thoughts, interpretations and opinions on Marías’s oeuvre. Marta Pérez-Carbonell’s article deals with the portrayal of uncertainty in Marías novel The Infatuations. How does the author pull his readers into a fictional world they can never leave? This piece explores the spider web-esque scenarios constructed by Marías and the many ways in which they trap readers.
