Considered as one of the most important figures of Hispanic American literature, Jose Lezama Lima is part of the select list of writers included in the volume Atlas de Literatura Latinoamericana (Arquitectura inestable).

The Havana-born essayist and poet bequeathed renowned titles such as his first novel Paradiso (1966), an essential piece in 20th century narrative, as well as La fijeza (1949), Dador (1960), Muerte de Narciso (1937); Enemigo rumor (1941), La expresión americana (1957), Oppiano Licario (1977), among others.

In fact, his work is constantly revisited for its impact on the literary scene. Such is the case of the project of the Spanish label Linkgua dedicated to transforming literary classics into NFT (non fungible tokens) digital works, which began with the edition of the novel Paradiso.

In the case of the Atlas, published by the Iberian publishing house Nórdica Libros, Lezama joins the cartography of the surviving authors of the Latin American boom, whose works survive alongside other new ones, which constitute communicating vessels between current events and tradition, explains the presentation of the text.

Coordinated by Clara Obligado, the publication compiles 50 profiles of great novelists and iconic poets of the region, elaborated by dozens of writers and experts from around the world, together with the graphic work of Argentine illustrator Agustín Camotto.

The volume reviews names such as the Inca Garcilaso De la Vega, the Argentines Rodolfo Walsh and Hebe Uhart, the Chileans Roberto Bolaños and Gabriela Mistral, the Mexican Leonora Carrington, the Ecuadorian Lupe Rumazo, the Paraguayan Augusto Roa Bastos, among others.

The approaches to his life and work, turned into a sort of choral work with a novel-like narrative, were in charge of authors such as Leila Guerriero, David Roas, Violeta Rojo, Fernanda Trias, Héctor Abad Faciolince or Julio Prieto, reports Prensa Latina.
