Featuring three different autobiographies, \u003ci\u003eThe Large Glass\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the absurd and hubristic project of the autobiography itself -- how can any writer account for himself in a way that is dignified yet honest? Intimate yet public? Like the Duchamp sculpture from which it takes its name, Mario Bellatin's \u003ci\u003eThe Large Glass\u003c\/i\u003e deconstructs the very form it embraces, revealing the artifice of the autobiographical genre, while cleverly celebrating the importance of the stories we tell about ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMexican writer \u003cb\u003eMario Bellatin\u003c\/b\u003e has published dozens of novels with major and minor publishing houses throughout Latin America, Europe, and the United States, including \u003ci\u003eShiki Nagaoka: A Nose for Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJacob the Mutant\u003c\/i\u003e, both from Phoneme Media.
