Abstract

El nido de la serpiente. Memorias del hijo del heladero (The serpent’s nest. Memoirs of an ice cream vendor’s Son) by Cuban writer Pedro Juan Gutiérrez unleashes the conjuring of evil and the uncertainty principle, achieving an illusion and reversibility effect that opposes the discourse of good through the hyperbolic description of its homonymous main character’s sensorial experience. The novel shows how Havana and Matanzas are locations that favour extreme experiences within a context of political and social unrest.
