 | Love Making Visits
Publication Date: April 26, 2002Alfred Jarry's work was a cannon shot fired at the French literary establishment at the end of the nineteenth century.

Metamorphosing through symbolist and hallucinatory stages, he arrives transforme...

Publication Date: May 1, 1970| Series: Contemporary Latin American Classics Willis Knapp Jones, a noted translator and specialist in Latin-American theatre, has chosen these three comedies as examples of the flowering of truly national theatre in Paraguay, Chile, and Argentina: The Fate of Chipi’ González, by José Maria Rivarola Matto; Man of the Century, by Miguel Frank; and The Quack Doctor, by Camilo Darthés and Carlos Damel.
