Abstract
Abstract Exorcismos de esti(l)o is one of Guillermo Cabrera Infante’s least studied books. It is nevertheless of essential importance for understanding the entirety of his poetics. It is a book that condenses the pain of the ostracism and the betrayal inflicted by the revolutionary regime that Cabrera had so strongly supported. The purpose of this article is to highlight the implicit elements of the text that support this hypothesis. It considers the strategies used by the author throughout Exorcismos de esti(l)o to practice the language with which he obsessively tries to draw, in his novelas del yo, a portrait of a lost and unrecoverable Havana, the hopeful Havana preceding the Cuban Revolution. It is an impossible yet obstinate mission. This is why the texts that articulate the impossibility of representation and the anguish that this mission generates deserve special attention.
摘要《驱魔》是吉尔莫·卡布雷拉·因凡特被研究最少的著作之一。然而，这对于理解他的整个诗学是至关重要的。这本书浓缩了卡布雷拉所强烈支持的革命政权所造成的排斥和背叛的痛苦。本文的目的是强调文本中支持这一假设的隐含元素。它考虑了作者在《驱魔记》(Exorcismos de esti)中使用的策略，以练习他在他的中篇小说中痴迷地试图描绘一个失落和无法恢复的哈瓦那的肖像，古巴革命前充满希望的哈瓦那。这是一项不可能完成的艰巨任务。这就是为什么那些阐明不可能代表权和这一使命产生的痛苦的文本值得特别注意的原因。
