Cervantes' legacy survives through a host of modern Iberian authors who have fractured the notion of a stable relationship between the proper name as it appears on a work and the identity of the artist. This process allows writers to work around censorship and other prohibitions in order to create an artistic space, alter conceptions of identity and engage with the work of others in ways that may seem unethical
