Anxieties of Interiority and Dissection in Early Modern Spain brings the study of Europe’s “culture of dissection” to the Iberian peninsula, presenting a neglected episode in the development of the modern concept of the self. Enrique Fernandez explores the ways in which sixteenth and seventeenth-century anatomical research stimulated both a sense of interiority and a fear of that interior’s exposure and punishment by the early modern state. Examining works by Miguel de Cervantes, María de Zayas, Fray Luis de Granada, and Francisco de Quevedo, Fernandez highlights the existence of narratives in which the author creates a surrogate self on paper, then “dissects” it. He argues that these texts share a fearful awareness of having a complex inner self in a country where one’s interiority was under permanent threat of punitive exposure by the Inquisition or the state. A sophisticated analysis of literary, religious, and medical practice in early modern Spain, Fernandez’s work will interest scholars working on questions of early modern science, medicine, and body politics.

AN EXILE AND THE FLAVORS OF HIS NATIVE LAND
In the sprawling Cortadito, Enrique Fernández explores Cuban cuisine through memories of growing up on the pre-revolutionary island. In his sensual journey through the origin and evolution of staples of Cuban food, Fernández wonders what shapes flavor: is it the soil or the community―whether at home or abroad? As an exile, he affirms, “I will continue to sample the crumbs that fall from [Cuba’s] table and be thankful and resentful at the same time.”

Two lovers struggle to reunite in the shadow of a bloody and magical revolution. A modern parable in the tradition of The 1001 Arabian Nights. "Allow me to tickle your fancies with my tale, a tale woven from the threads of a hundred other tales..." With these words, the masked storyteller begins the epic saga of daring Irvi and beautiful Sian, separated by fate... and of Cobra, the soldier who becomes emperor by a path of blood, rage, and magic... and of Maluuk, the dwarf actor who conjures a revolution. A captivating and timeless story of love, passion, and violence, filled with conflicting motives and opposing heroes, all captured by the vivid color palette and coiling linework of artist Enrique Fernández.
