Cinematic Techniques in the Prose Fiction of Beatriz Guido

Has 20th century literary technique been influenced by the cinema? The obvious answer is yes. But with that answer few specific examples are ever provided, frustrating the reader and filmgoer alike. This study does give specifics drawn from the novels, short stories and screenplays of Argentine writer Beatriz Guido (1925-1988), wife of noted film director Leopoldo Torre Nilsson. Cinematic narrative techniques and literary narrative techniques share features in common, a mutual influence, but also important differences. Here these are examined in detail. Students and fans of film and Latin American literature will be intrigued.Gibson, Christine Mary is the author of 'Cinematic Techniques in the Prose Fiction of Beatriz Guido' with ISBN 9781581120585 and ISBN 1581120583.
