Ethnos Meets Eros On The River Plate: Marcelo Birmajer, Sylvia Molloy, Anna Kazumi Stahl , Edna Aizenberg

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

This article deals with three contemporary novelists, Marcelo Birmajer, Anna Kazumi Stahl and Sylvia Molly in the context of a new understanding of ethnicity, sexuality and literature in Argentina. In contrast to previous eras when writing reflected a melting pot philosophy which saw Eros as a means of fusing ethnicities and eliminating particularities, today's fiction often celebrates these differences, uncovering layers of secrecy and demanding a place for various languages, sexualities and geographies.
