Abstract:
The paper discusses four novels by Chicana writer Ana Castillo, ?The Mixquiahuala Letters?, ?Sapogonia?, ?So Far From God? and ?The Guardians? which demonstrate gradual change in the autor`s position from a supporter of the radical feminism towards an advocate of moderate feminism . ; Another interest of Castillo that may be traced in her novels is the search for a counter-history of Mexican-Americans connected with their quest for identity and the deconstruction of the utopian Aztlan . In my analysis and interpretation I also focus on the issues of religious syncretism in Castillo`s fiction and her attachment to parody and the grotesque, which is a tribute to her literary master: Gabriel García Márquez .
