Book Reviews of El laberinto de la soledad
Book Review: A critical exploration of mysteries of S. American society
Summary: 5 Stars
By first analyzing the phenomena of the "pachuco" (the Mexican who leaves his country for the U.S.), Paz makes you aware of how easily people can be alienated -- by their own country and by immigration. he then goes on to explore the realities and implications of other themes in S. American society -- from ritual to myth to holiday. He poignantly conveys how Mexican are temporarily stagnated in the eurocentric world. Although beautifully and clearly written in English, Paz' essay reveals his undyingly poetic tendencies in the Spanish (original) version.
