I'm reading Lezama Lima for my graduate seminar. What a true Mother(F) of invention! It's hard to imagine a more central Latin American poet of the last century. He was Catholic and the story goes that a priest told him that he had to believe in the existence of Hell to be a good Catholic. He was having trouble with the concept and finally came up with the perfect solution: there is a Hell, but there is no one in it.
