Tallahassee, Florida: Florida State University Press. Very Good. 1985. Softcover. 0813007925 . Index, notes. "Castillo's book on the metaphor of the library is an ambitious compound of critical analysis and theoretical speculation. The idea of culture as written, collected, classified, and nearly ossified by system has, of course, received an almost obsessive attention in recent theory. I do not recall, however, another work which so thoroughly engages the most comprehensive image of the self-reflexive discourse reflecting upon itself, looking into the books within the books within the books, exponentially, which cram the shelves and swell the catalogues of historical consciousness. It is also a study of narrativity which moves across languages and forms, in writers from Cervantes to Borges to Beckett" (Herbert Blau, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, rear cover blurb) . ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 356 pages . more information

Its final chapter, "Reflections on Post-Paternal Culture, " shows how patriarchal discourse remains prominent today, though sometimes in diminished and ironic forms, and how feminist theorists including Helene Cixous and Gaytri Chakravorty Spivak have attempted to displace or transcend it".
