Biography : 

Eva-Lynn Jagoe's recent book, Take Her, She’s Yours (Punctum Books, 2019), explores theoretical notions of psychoanalysis, subjectivity and feminism through an experiential first-person narrative. Her next book project is on Spanish history, memory, and climate change. She disseminates her research through creative non-fiction and hybrid prose, as well as more traditional academic writing.

Jagoe’s first book, The End of the World as They Knew It: Writing Experiences of the Argentine South (Bucknell UP, 2008), examines representations of the South in Argentine and English texts from the nineteenth century to the present, arguing that the narration of this space is formative in the shaping of a collective memory and history of Argentina.
