Reviews
With Kellman writing on Stavans we encounter the spirit of the pícaro--and squared. Think: Cantinflas, Quixote, Candide, Tristram Shandy, Zelig playfully disrupting normative patterns of thinking as they dance across the ever-moving time and space of a funhouse mirror. Kellman's rigorous scholarship and mischievous pen sidestep hagiography to bring out the best of Stavans: his playfully slippery creative and intellectual poetics that poke, tease, and interrogate in ways that force us to rethink our own understanding of canons, language, culture, borders, belonging, history--even today's hanging-by-a-thread democracy.--Frederick Luis Aldama, Ohio State University
