Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book is a reading of Juan Villoros narratives of travel and tourism in Mexico as the expressions of an entangled positionality. Villoro Entangles argues that his cronica and satirical fiction are complementary genres that explore the contradictions of writing about travel and tourism in Mexico. When Juan Villoro takes on writing about travel and tourism in Mexico, he does so as a Mexican author of global report. His own literary and historical musings collide with the complaints, the platitudes, and the posturings of multiple tourist sets. Villoro and his fictional protagonists become entangled in strands of cultural knowledge and touristic frivolity, and their account of it is as critically significant as it is entertaining. To fully critique the manufactured authenticity of Mexicos tourist zoneswhich do not always announce themselves as such Villoro, the author as traveler, must give account of Villoro, the author as tourist. Argues that Juan Villoros cronica and satirical fiction are complementary genres that explore the contradictions of writing about travel and tourism in Mexico. This item is printed on demand.
