其他摘要：The literary life of Eduardo/Edward Rivera is covered from the 1960s through the publication in 1982 of Family Installments. Rivera´s readings of other writers such as Lorca, Joyce, Hemingway, the authors of "El Boom" latinoamericano, Díaz Valcárcel, and El Huitlacoche are reviewed, as well as Rivera´s innovative contributions to creative literature. Rivera´s bilingualism is contrasted with that of Hemingway. The essay treats Rivera¿s professional life at The City College of New York up to and including the founding of The Bilingual Review/La Revista Biling e at that institution in 1973 and the publication of Family Installments nearly a decade later. The essay reviews highlights of the friendship and collaborations between Eduardo Rivera and Gary D. Keller during the period of the late 1960s through 1982. Finally, light is shed on how Family Installments grew into a book, and insight is offered on why Eduardo Rivera published little if any fiction after 1982.
