This English-language study examines multiple works by the Chilean writer Diamela Eltit. Written in clear critical discourse, these essays are a practical tool for first-time or hesitant Eltit readers who seek discussion of a particular book and are not familiar with the author's entire production. This study will be beneficial for scholars interested in Latin American narrative, Latin American women's writing, Latin American feminism, feminism in general, comparative literature, women's studies, and culture studies.
