The missing word. Reflections on a lost essay by Alejo Carpentier

Authors

No. 102 (2020): Noviembre

Abstract

The study highlights the associations present in Alejo Carpentier’s fiction and his musicological essays. His musicological essays precede the body of his most important works and they underline techniques, narrative resources and writing characteristics, which contributed to his fiction production. The systematic value of this model was expounded by the author in an unknown essay called Tristán e Isolda en Tierra Firme (1949). In this research work, I will illustrate the theoretical development of this model, its filiations and its aesthetic realisation as a generational poetic, which determined the work of some central writers of the Latin American Boom.
