Cervantes' Don Quixote: A Casebook (Casebooks in… by Roberto González Echevarría

Superb compendium of Quixote criticism! I think it's time I go ahead and read Auerbach's magnum opus, Mimesis.

Cuban fiestas by Roberto González Echevarría

An examination of Cuban culture, art,and, above all,literature, through the lens of the fiesta. The author takes us through a century and a half of Cuban cultural self-examination, gives us a personal account with some charming details (including a recipe for pernil -- haunch of pork -- that looks to be delicious). It is marred by anti-Castro sentiments that border on the vicious.
