In fact, there is no evidence of any concrete relationship between him and any pure science discipline. How then it is possible to establish connections between Lezama's literary works and the disciplines of science? How are certain scientific discoveries and developments, such as the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, modern logic, thermodynamics, or the big bang theory, embraced in the cultural imaginary of Cuba during the first half of the twentieth century? And finally, how do those scientific discoveries and developments inform Lezama's aesthetic production? Grounded in his disciplinary experience in both literary and mathematical studies, Vargas attempts to unearth the overlaps and connections between science and art, thus offering a new critical apparatus with which scholars can study Lezama's works. In this book, he provides a close reading of Lezama's narrative works, including his two novels-Paradiso and Oppiano Licario-as well as Lezama's essays, press articles, and interviews. The author also examines the catalog of Lezama's personal library, revealing that his poetics are based on an original and fascinating appropriation of concepts, problems, solutions, and rhetorical devices in science. Resumen en español: Probablemente el escritor cubano más importante del siglo XX, José Lezama Lima (1910-1976) es reconocido como poeta, ensayista, promotor cultural, y novelista, pero no por su relación con alguna disciplina de las ciencias puras. |
