  ALEJO CARPENTIER
(1904-1980) was a Cuban novelist, essayist, and musicologist who greatly influenced Latin American literature during
its famous "boom" period. Carpentier took a keen interest in Latin American politics and often aligned himself with
revolutionary movements, such as Fidel Castro's Communist Revolution in Cuba in the mid-20th century. Carpentier was
jailed and exiled for his leftist political philosophies.
  
  REASONS OF STATE [El Recurso del
método] has been hailed as the most significant novel ever to come out of Cuba. It tells the tale of the dictator
of an unnamed Latin American country who has been living the life of luxury in high-society Paris. When news reaches him
of a coup at home, he rushes back and crushes it with brutal military force. But returning to Paris he is given a chilly
welcome, and learns that photographs of the atrocities have been circulating among his well-to-do friends. Meanwhile
World War One has broken out, and another rebellion forces the dictator back across the ocean. As he struggles with the
Marxist forces beginning to find footing in his own country, and Europe is devastated, Carpentier constructs a masterful
and biting satire of the new world order.
  
  
  Reviews
  
  "Magical realism, made famous by
One Hundred Years of Solitude, was primarily Carpentier's invention. . . Carpentier, except for Borges, is clearly
the genius of Latin American fiction in its great period, during the second half of the twentieth century." -- Harold
Bloom
  
  "[Reasons of State is] a jocular view of imaginative idealism, repressive power and burgeoning
revolution, all done with breezy panache. Once again, Carpentier has shown how canny and adept a practitioner he can be
in mediating between the many realms which his own life has touched upon. I wonder what Fidel thinks of his emissary's
Reasons of State." -- New York Times
  
  "Reasons of State is the slow, sarcastic exploration of the exercise
of power -- a power inevitably bastardized, secondary, illusory -- in a misdeveloped continent." -- Ariel Dorfman
 

  "Carpentier's energy is gigantic and pell-mell, sweeping colossi on top of each other with ruthless,
contemptuous daring." -- The Yale Review
