Examining the relationship between psychoanalysis, literary criticism and contemporary literature, this book focuses on examples from Latin America in order to provide an important account of why gendered violence occurs and how it is portrayed. In the novels discussed, the protagonists express similar fears, passions and illnesses that are present in contemporary Latin America. Psychoanalysis and literary criticism offers us an interpretative framework to understand these voices, especially those that are in the margin.
