Paradiso Paperback – 25 Sept. 2009

A masterpiece, beautifully translated. Accept that you will be confused or bewildered at times. Lima is aiming for "understanding beyond reason", so just let him take you wherever he wants to go.

Reading Lezama Lima's Paradiso is a rare treat, a truly enriching experience. Rabassa's translation is a work of art in its own right. I recommend the book to any lover of literature.
