Open-access Carpentier’s Farewell (Journey Back to my Source)

Abstract

The article synthesizes the fifty-year mutual trajectory of a critic, Roberto González Echevarría and the writings of an author, Alejo Carpentier. It goes over the trails left by one and the other. Roberto González Echevarría is the most lucid and insightful critic Carpentier ever had and Carpentier is the writer who most systematically appears in the work of Roberto González Echevarría. Both also had a deep and tense friendship. In this original critical and autobiographical adventure, the reader will be present in what González Echevarría himself calls a journey to his Carpenterian sources and a farewell by the great novelist.

Keywords:
Alejo Carpentier; Roberto González Echevarría; Magical Realism, Marvelous Real; Boom of the Latin American Novel
