AB In radically postmodern fashion, Cota-Cárdenas’s Puppet: A Chicano Novella embracesgraphic excess, narrative fragmentation, and a polyphony of voices, but more importantly, ituses code-switching as a liberating combination that help the characters escape duality andpreconceptions in order to constitute a new Chicano identity. This novel is purposely bilingual,experimental and aggressive as a way of rebelling against the Anglo society and asproof of the disturbances produced by the clash of cultures. The image of a broken puppetwhich the main character embodies will illustrate the discussion around bilingualism, the useof code-switching as a literary technique and its markedness when addressing the audience.These devices will be key when contradicting the general conception of Spanglish as the result of a poorly developed linguistic minority situated in the Mexican-American border.
