This paper discusses the reception of the work of Juan José Arreola inthe English language. It is based on Lefevere’s concepts of rewriting andrefraction. It describes how the fame of an author is manipulated acrosscultures through translations, metatexts and paratexts. Metatexts and paratexts(prologues, introductions, critical accounts, etc.) are discussed asmediators in the reception of a literary work. A series of English writtenpublications that depict Arreola as a humorist is then reviewed. Finally,a general view of Arreola’s reception in English is presented through theanalysis of the introductions to Confabulario and Other Inventions byGeorge D. Schade and Una selección personal/A Personal Selection by VicentePreciado and Ramón Elizondo.Downloads
