BORGES, BUDDHISM AND WORLD LITERATURE
A Morphology of Renunciation Tales
Dominique Jullien
Literatures of the Americas Series Editor Norma E. Cantú Trinity University San Antonio, TX, USA
This series seeks to bring forth contemporary critical interventions within a hemispheric perspective, with an emphasis on perspectives from Latin America. Books in the series highlight work that explores concerns in literature in different cultural contexts across historical and geographical boundaries and also include work on the specific Latina/o realities in the United States. Designed to explore key questions confronting contemporary issues of literary and cultural import, Literatures of the Americas is rooted in traditional approaches to literary criticism but seeks to include cutting-edge scholarship using theories from postcolonial, critical race, and ecofeminist approaches.
