"Between Market and Myth covers a fascinating topic which allows for the exploration of questions central to the cultural production of the period and of the changing, at times contradictory, role of the artist. The topic is exciting and timely, and Vater presents a provocative frame for the discussion."
~Elizabeth Drumm, author of Painting on Stage: Visual Art in Twentieth-Century Spanish Theater
"The book makes a compelling case for the effects that neoliberalism has on cultural capital and supports its convincing argument with an all-encompassing literary analysis that masterfully interprets the primary texts in their historical and geographical context."
~Hispania
"Is the value of an artist and her product intrinsic or extrinsic to society? Katie Vater’s intriguing study engages this question through an analysis of several Spanish literary works produced between 1992 and 2014."
~Bulletin of Spanish Studies
“Vater’s volume is a remarkable contribution to studies of the contemporary Spanish novel, and its readers will find many ways to connect its conclusions to the current status quo.”
