About
Born in the Columbia Military Encampment close to Havana in the city of Marianao where his father was a colonel, Lezama lived through some of the most turbulent times of Cuba's history, fighting against the Machado dictatorship. His literary output includes the semi-autobiographical, baroque novel Paradiso, the story of a young man and his struggles with his mysterious illness, the death of his father, and his developing sensuality and poetic sensibilities.
