if you're ever in the mood for something similar (not as ambitious but... just... fucking great) i wholeheartedly recommend LOS RIOS PROFUNDOS by josé maría arguedas.

it's centered in the andes not the caribbean and... wow! just one of the greatest books ever if not as famous as the generation of the boom.
