Works in Progress

Book project

The forgotten Saga: the Novelas Argentinas of Carlos María Ocantos

At present I am working on a book-length project on the series of novels by the Argentine writer and diplomat Carlos María Ocantos (1880-1949) . I have already published three articles/book chapters on the work of this author. My project envisions a detailed study of the linguistic and literary aspects underpinning the realistic model adopted by this writer who spent most of his life outside Argentina and the literary official canon.
