Critical Dictionary of Mexican Literature (1955 2010) is both a personal anthology and a highly subjective and unscientific reference work, marrying the often acerbic, always poetic reviews and essays written on Mexican literature by renowned critic Christopher Dom nguez Michael over the past thirty years to the quixotic ideal of a comprehensive dictionary of Mexico 's recent literary history. With well over 150 entries, the Dictionary both introduces and interrogates the work of novelists, poets, essayists, and journalists working in Mexico between 1955 (date of the publication of Juan Rulfo 's watershed Mexican Revolution novel Pedro P ramo) and the present day.
