Fayen discusses the translations of Faulkner's work in Latin America, paying special attention to a Jorge Luis Borges' translation of The Wild Palms. In the theoretical part of her work, the author comments upon reception and translation theories, which she recontextualises within the polysystemic paradigm. In her analysis of the translations, she discusses aspects such as punctuation, paragraphing, visual representations, additions, deletions and the use of black, baby and foreign speech.
