Curiously, in spite of its importance, his work is rarely translated or taught abroad.
Only a few of his books have been recently published in Brazil, and most of his films have disappeared, or been lost or badly damaged."
Carvalho is highly influenced by the work of fellow Angolan writer José Luandino Vieira and by the Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa.

The book" DesmedidaUnmeasured") is deliberately divided between two- halves, but there's a" third half", the metafiction novel" A terceira metade"( 2009), which is announced at the end of" Desmedida" and is a play on Rosa's short story" A terceira margem do rio The Third Bank of the River").
