The novel's vaudeville qualities, with characters shuffling on and off the page in rapid succession, are complemented by its exhilarating air of parody. \u003ci\u003eDreams\u003c\/i\u003e draws ingeniously upon the sentimentality and ephemera of popular culture--quoting radio and TV shows, song lyrics, newspaper items, and bits of gossip-- while also offering a sterner, more nuanced view of public and private relations. It is in large measure this mix of elements--\"popular\" and \"high\" culture, sentimentality and political understanding, vaudeville and arch satire--that makes \u003ci\u003eDreams\u003c\/i\u003e an exemplary postmodern novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlicia Borinsky received the 1996 Latino Literature Award, given by the Institute of Latin American Writers, for\u003ci\u003e Dreams of the Abandoned Seducer\u003c\/i\u003e.
