Iffland Book Released in U.S.
Last year, Prof. James Iffland published a monumental two volume work on Salvadoran writer Roque Dalton, Para llegar a Roque Dalton: pequeños infiernos y otros paraísos. Initially, the book was released only in El Salvador, but it has now come out in the United States as well, published by the University of North Carolina Press.
From our story last fall on the initial release of the publication:
“Iffland’s words at the book launching, in the presence of Dalton’s son and widow and a host of authorities from the government and University, can be found here. David Hernández, who received special thanks for publishing the book at the University of El Salvador, praises Iffland for his meticulous detective work, ‘with the precision of a jeweler-watchmaker, and the critical eye of a specialist in the leading figures of world literature—Quevedo, Cervantes, and, in this case, our classic Roque Dalton.’”
