the long version

"Dense study explores esoteric dimensions of João Guimarães Rosa's Grande sertão: veredas (see HLAS 20:4389), translated into English with the title The devil to pay in the backlands (see HLAS 26:2008). Study provides the deep and comprehensive metaphysical analysis of Rosa's great novel which had been lacking up to now. Author, a French Brazilianist, conveys how Taoism, Hinduism, and other Oriental and Western metaphysical and spiritual positions on life are elements in the narratives of Grande sertão"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
