Rolando Perez
Edit ProfileEducation
Rolando Perez received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from the College of New Jersey (then Trenton State College) in 1983. Three years later, it was followed by his first Master of Arts degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In 1987, he had the second one in Hispanic Literature.
In a couple of years, Rolando Perez obtained his Master of Library and Information Science at Rutgers University. Later, he completed a Ph. D. in Spanish and Latin American Literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
Career
Rolando Perez wrote one of his books ‘On Anarchy & Schizoanalysis’ when he was studying philosophy in graduate school. Then, he became interested in contemporary French criticism and philosophy, and one thing or the other led him to the Work of Deleuze and Guatarri. Later, Perez came across Severo Sarduy which resulted in his other volume ‘Severo Sarduy and the Religion of the Text’.
The volumes Perez published during the subsequent years were focused on such topics, literary, and philosophical figures as César Vallejo, Alejandra Pizarnik, Octavio Paz, Jean Baudrillard, Alain Badiou, Emmanuel Levinas, and Enrique Dussel. He has also authored several books of fiction, plays, and poetry in prose.
The latest publication of Rolando Perez is ‘Severo Sarduy and the Neo-Baroque Image of Thought in the Visual Arts’ issued in 2010. Several articles by Perez can be also found in the Norton Anthology of Latino Literature.
Nowadays, Rolando Perez is a professor of Spanish-American literature in the Romance Languages Department of Hunter College of the City University of New York.

Quotations: "I’ve been writing ever since I can remember. Writing is probably the only thing that I have done in my life with any degree of consistency. I can’t speak for others, but I don’t think that writing is something one chooses to do. One writes because one has to – as Nietzsche put it – to get rid of one’s ideas. What drives a certain artist to create, if you will, is some overriding passion. Artists are very obsessive people."
