Was El Reino de este mundo published in 1957, or was that just the English translation? I think the original was in 1949, no?

Wasn't he born in Havana from a Cuban mother and a French dad?

That's what it says on his official website, I think the information on this article might just be misinformed. Check this out: www.cubaliteraria.com/autor/alejo_carpentier/biogra.htm

The article claims he won the 1979 Prix Médicis but he is not on Wikipedia's list so I inserted a "citation needed" notice. Artist In Flight 12:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
