"Muy Caribe Está" by Mario Escobar is a chronicle of the discovery of the Caribbean. The narrator, now in his nonagenarian years, reconsiders his experience as a conqueror and turncoat. He deeply understands Caribbean culture and both speaks about it in terms of their customs, military prowess, and language. The writer's style - drenched with an interplay between Spanish and Caribbean - connects to the everyday realities: survival in the unknown, hunger, desires, love, history, pride, cruelty, and generates other metaphors, readings, and expressions for our history, and our language.
