Gutiérrez's settings oscillate between the utopian, the dystopian, and the heterotopian in unexpected fashion, often revealing his protagonists' surprising affinity for the latter two. In her examination of Gutiérrez's use of these interwoven -topian spaces, Oxford shows how the three spaces, although apparently contradictory, have managed to coexist in Cuba and demonstrates how they are all reflected in Gutiérrez's fiction, often simultaneously, just as they exist in Cuba's reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLori Oxford is associate professor of Spanish and associate dean of the Brinson Honors College at Western Carolina University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51867873280288,"sku":"9781666910032","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/WSk1kXjzYC9781666910032.webp?v=1781687099","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/pedro-juan-gutierrezs-dirty-realism-reinventing-cuban-spaces-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
