Oblong octavo. 18pp. Elaborate line drawings and calligraphy throughout the book, which was produced to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ediciones Vigía and Retamar's 80th birthday. Retamar's text, along with Estévez's ecstatic and expressionistic images, analyzes the provocative applicability of Shakespeare's Caliban character to the postcolonial condition. The ultimate symbol of the "other" and the alienated subject, Caliban has long been taken to stand as Shakespeare's contemporary critique of Elizabethan and Jacobean England's colonial expansion; Retamar's own discussion provides the other, modernized side of the case. Bound in crinkled white paper over boards decorated with printed and colored paper onlays, with sand pasted on. Stray soiling, else near fine.
