Book Synopsis

Esta colección de ensayos críticos, en palabras de su compilador, “estropea la nitidez disciplinaria o la corrección moral de tantos relatos bienpensantes y aguacatotes dedicados apenas al inventario de las particularidades identitarias de las islas.” No es la “tendencia dominante” la que guía la exploración de un posible espacio caribeño, sino las subjetividades singulares, anómalas, imposibles; así como los actos abyectos, inmotivados e increíbles. El registro crítico alcanza de los delirios salubristas del doctor Ashley en San Juan de Puerto Rico a las orgías contra-dantescas de José Lezama Lima.

In the words of its compiler, this collection of critical essays ‘spoils the disciplinary sharpness or moral correctness of so many well intentioned and gullible stories rarely dedicated to making an inventory of the identity idiosyncracies of the islands.’ It is not the ‘dominant trend’ that guides the exploration of a possible Caribbean space, but singular, abnormal, impossible subjectivities; as well as heinous, unjustified and incredible acts. The critical record ranges from Dr. Ashley's sanitised delusions in San Juan, Puerto Rico to the counter-Dantean orgies of José Lezama Lima.
