Dictionary. Life and Work of José Lezama Lima (Part Two) is a monumental scholarly achievement that completes a comprehensive lexicographic and hermeneutic exploration of one of the most complex and influential figures of twentieth-century Hispanic literature. Conceived as the culmination of a long-term research project, this volume offers an encyclopaedic reconstruction of José Lezama Lima’s intellectual universe, uniting biography, poetics, philosophy, and textual analysis within a single systematic framework. Structured as a dictionary of concepts ranging from F to Z, the book goes far beyond a conventional reference work. Each entry traces the genesis, evolution, and semantic transformations of key notions across Lezama Lima’s poetry, essays, novels, correspondence, interviews, and unpublished manuscripts. Through a rigorous synchronic and diachronic methodology, the author reveals the internal coherence of Lezama’s thought, demonstrating how concepts migrate, mutate, and interconnect throughout his oeuvre. This second part introduces and develops themes that are essential to understanding Lezama’s mature poetics, including eros, myth, culinary imagination, bestiaries, metaphysics, cultural memory, and the fusion of poetry and prose. Drawing extensively on archival materials, many edited and studied by the author himself, the book sheds new light on Lezama’s creative process, his system of images, and his unique conception of the word as both poetic event and epistemological tool. At once a biography written through concepts and a conceptual map of a singular literary system, this dictionary serves as an indispensable instrument for scholars, students, and readers seeking to engage deeply with Lezama Lima’s work. It establishes a solid foundation for future critical editions and positions Lezama not only as a central figure of Cuban literature, but as a universal thinker whose vision transcends genres, epochs, and cultural boundaries.
