FictionIntroduction by Timothy BrennanThree works of fiction by the inventor of magic realismnow back in print! In a nameless, Havanalike city, an anonymous man flees a team of shadowy, relentless political assassins, and ultimately takes refuge in a symphony auditorium during a performance of Beethoven s Eroica. . . . This nightmarish novel does not so much tell a story as map the secret political infrastructure of cities, governments, churches, music, and bodies. The Independent Carpentier was one of the early giants of modern Latin American literature, a man whose writing helped shape and define the period of magic realism. . . . [The Chase is] a masterpiece. New York Times Book Review A taut tale of political violence and psychological suspense. San Francisco Chronicle One of the few perfect novellas in Spanish. G. Cabrera InfantePerhaps Cuba s most important intellectual figure of the twentieth century, Alejo Carpentier (19041980) was a novelist, a classically trained pianist and musicologist, a producer of avantgarde radio programming, and an influential theorist of politics and literature. Best known for his novels, Carpentier also collaborated with such luminaries as Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud, Georges Bataille, and Antonin Artaud. Born in Havana, he lived for many years in France and Venezuela but returned to Cuba after the 1959 revolution.
