A critical edition of "Paradiso" (1966), the only novel Cuban writer José Lezama Lima (1910-1976) published in his lifetime, reviewed in the New York Times by critic Edmund Wilson as follows: "[An] extraordinary novel... written by Cuba's leading poet.... There is scarcely a line in the entire narrative that could be mistaken for anyone else's writing.... Lezama's language is reckless, voluptuous, sly and unrelentingly sexual.... A masterpiece of the modern Spanish Baroque.... Lezama has the power not only to create absorbing and memorable images; he has also placed these images in into a vast network of philosophical and mythical significance.... For me, the proof of the greatness of "Paradiso" is that for the last two weeks I've been walking around New York seeing things through Lezama's eyes."
