%X in this paper i analyze the novel las noches de carmen miranda (2002) by the chilean writer luc¨ªa guerra as part of the imaginary on brazilian actress carmen miranda (1909-1955). as a latin-american icon of international mass culture, carmen miranda develops an esthetics of excess that is recognizable in its over elaborated tropical style. luc¨ªa guerra's text incorporates kitsch as a theme, but fails to do the same with the sensibility of a personage that is complex from the point of view both of the historical context and esthetics.
