Carpentier forever.

Carpentier wasn't a post-modernist. Literary movements work differently in non-English-speaking countries. There was a movement in LA called "Modernismo" during the 1880's through the turn of the century which was closer in spirit to a post-romantic late-Victorian (Tennyson, Browning) strain embodied by Rubén Darío. If anything, Carpentier should be classed with other Cuban writers (Lezama Lima, Sarduy, Guillén) who sought to incorporate the Imagist/Symbolist/Cubist technical aspects of Modernism (in the Anglo- sense) into the cultural milieu of the Afro-Cuban carnivalesque. Delirious, hyper-sensory, encyclopedic sure, but for some reason I can bring myself to call them "post-modernist" since they weren't working in that global-social vein, more historico-social. (It's like the old argument about how Sor Juana is "proto-feminist" or Rabelais is "proto-atheist" when those modes of thought were virtually unthinkable at that time.) Later Cuban writers have worked hard to show the forced nature of their works, how really everything was going to shit for a long time.
