Everything in Its Place: The Life and Works of Virgilio Pinera: is a seminal book that fills a major gap in Cuban and Latin American literary criticism. In addition to being the most comprehensive study to date of the life and work of Virgilio Pinera, this is the first book in English on this major twentieth-century Cuban author. In this study Thomas F. Anderson draws extensively on unpublished manuscripts and diverse critical writings, bringing new insights into how Pinera's works responded to key literary influences as well as events in his life and in Cuban political and cultural history.

In the preamble, there are two godfathers [compadres] (two fathers, one who has baptized the other one son) who share their manuscripts about a fictitious community called Dolorosa Village, the finding of the original manuscript of Christopher Columbus, known as Columbus Journal; and about the apocalyptic predictions of the island. Then, continues the description of the priest of the community; followed by the life of the dictator of Dolorosa: his origin, his political tricks, and his repressive measures, the adventures of his centaurs, the extravagance of his wedding, his decadence, and his death. In the same way, the life of the hero is developed parallel to the dictator with all his vicissitudes and struggles against him. The novel continues with the desperation and exodus of the younger members of the community, and the destruction almost of the whole island caused by a tsunami. Finally, it is closed with an epilogue where the two godparents make a scrutiny about the books written during the dictatorship.

"In order to address these questions and to better understand Ocampo's work, the analysis sustains an extended dialogue between her short fiction and current Euro-American feminist theory. While the analysis is intended primarily for scholars interested in Latin American authors, every effort has been made to facilitate a reading by the non-specialist."--BOOK JACKET.
