The baroque in the late works of Alejo Carpentier

"There is, as Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria has noted an ""unstable core"" or a ""radical and pervasive discord at the center of Carpentier's production"" (The Pilgrim at Home 17). In this study, we focus on the notion of instability to approach the baroque. This style in Carpentier's work represents the tension between two modes of signification which produce narrative excess. While it appears that this instability is unconscious in the early works, it is argued that there is a conscious effort in the late works to exploit and revel in discursive instability."
