Jacket art by Szu Fun Chao. keywords: Literature Latin America Cuba Translated South America Caribbean Literary Criticism. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Jose Lezama Lima's unique writing style challenges traditional literary forms. Throughout his career, he worked to break down the boundaries between poetry and fiction. Although he is best known for his novel PARADISO, which was first published in 1966, his early experimentation took a predominantly poetic form. In fact, he always considered himself primarily a poet. This Cuban writer has been highly praised by Latin American literary critics as well as by fellow Latin American writers. Emir Rodriquez Monegal said of him: ‘Today, in Latin America and the Western world, the work of Lezama Lima has been recognized as one of the decisive of this century, and because of its quality and importance, his name is now associated with that of Borges and Octavio Paz. ' Lezama Lima also has an international reputation in Spanish literary circles, but his work is still not widely known outside the Spanish world, despite the existence of translations of many of his works. This critical study is the first of its scope to be published in the English language. In addition, it provides new insight into this body of literature for those already familiar with his work. Drawing on several contemporary critical methodologies without getting locked into any one particular approach, Souza examines Lezama Lima's work as a whole, as well as specific poems and both of his novels, particularly PARADISO. While examining various aspects of the literature-metaphor and metonymy, characterization, and plot and fabula-Souza also analyzes Lezama Lima's major themes and preoccupations-his quest for truth and his search for an understanding of creativity, death, time, and his own personal history-and the manner in which he incorporated these elements into his creative products. Souza explains how Lezama Lima not only merged the literary forms of poetry and fiction, but in some cases also incorporated autobiography into the final synthesis. Indeed, Souza claims, at the core of Lezama Lima's writing style is this process of synthesizing, of confusing the boundaries between form and content, as well as among forms, while at the same time aiming for an ultimate understanding of the world. inventory #10258.
