Metaphorically speaking, the familty constitutes an individual's first and foremost telescope onto reality. Among other things, it is a paradigm that helps us to structure our perceptions of the world around us. It is no wonder, then, that the family unit should serve as well to structure that literary telescope onto reality that we call the modern novel. The primary subject of this course, therefore, is the relationship between family and fiction in modern Hispanic culture. The range of novels stud ied is intended to show, moreover, how the family experience and narrative form have evolved over the past century. Finally, the novels allow us to understand as well what degree of cultural coherence there is among writers from Spain, South America, Mexi co and the Spanish-speaking community in the United States.
