Review

"Kutzinski has taken a giant step in exploring and exploding the cultural myths that make up the now anachronistic canon of 'American' literature. [This book] is surely the first stage in a bold New World perspective that will open up new avenues in the field of comparative literature." -- Romance Quarterly
