"Glissant understands Relation to be a synthesising space in which
opposites can live comfortably together and where, as in the works of
Alejo Carpentier, there is little difference between the animate and the
inanimate. Glissant detects a similar synthesis in the Guyanese
landscapes of Wilson Harris, in which the notions of extinction and
interior co-exist as one unity."
Caryl Phillips, A New World Order.
