El escritor argentino supo demostrar que Paradiso, aunque traspasaba las fronteras de lo novelesco para ser tambi\u00e9n un \u00abtratado herm\u00e9tico\u00bb y una \u00abpo\u00e9tica\u00bb, terminaba reafirm\u00e1ndose como una gran novela.Respecto a los cuentos, no se trata simplemente de diferencias de calidad entre Paradiso y sus hermanos menores. En primer lugar, el osado experimentador de Rayuela y de algunos libros multiformes, mixtos, inclasificables, cuando tropezaba con el cuento propiamente dicho, se hac\u00eda cauteloso y se apegaba a ciertas estructuras \u00abcl\u00e1sicas\u00bb. Usando una met\u00e1fora box\u00edstica, recordaba que la novela puede ganar por puntos; pero el cuento tiene que noquear, y las claves del \u00e9xito las situaba en lo que llam\u00f3 la intensidad o la tensi\u00f3n. En segundo lugar, los cinco textos que Lezama consider\u00f3 cuentos \u2014incluidos en el presente volumen\u2014 dinamitan las propuestas de Cort\u00e1zar, el dec\u00e1logo de Quiroga, y cuanto modelo pudiera extraerse desde Poe hasta Hemingway, pasando por Chejov y Maupassant.El propio Lezama, refiri\u00e9ndose en una carta a la petici\u00f3n de un editor deseoso de publicar sus cuentos, s\u00f3lo recuerda \u00abFugados\u00bb, \u00abJuego de las decapitaciones\u00bb y \u00abEl patio morado\u00bb, mostrando una significativa despreocupaci\u00f3n por el destino de su narrativa corta. S\u00famese \u2014para complicar las cosas\u2014 que anteriormente hab\u00eda autorizado la inclusi\u00f3n de un poema en prosa de La fijeza en una antolog\u00eda del cuento fant\u00e1stico.La presente edici\u00f3n recoge \u00abFugados\u00bb (1936), \u00abEl patio morado\u00bb (1941), \u00abPara un final presto\u00bb (1950 aprox., publicado p\u00f3stumamente en 1984), \u00abJuego de las decapitaciones\u00bb (1944) y \u00abCangrejos, golondrinas\u00bb (1946). Se excluyen los textos que Lezama clasific\u00f3 de otro modo por el propio hecho de colocarlos en sus libros de poes\u00eda o ensayo: los casos, por ejemplo, de \u00abNoche dichosa\u00bb, \u00abInvocaci\u00f3n para desorejarse\u00bb y \u00abCuento de un tonel\u00bb, entre otras prosas de La fijeza, o p\u00e1ginas tan curiosas como \u00abLa mayor fineza\u00bb de Tratados en La Habana. Los cuentos recogidos en este libro muestran una causalidad diferente, donde la vivencia oblicua hace de las suyas, donde en cada p\u00e1rrafo \u2014en cada l\u00ednea\u2014 nos aguarda una sorpresa.Lezama, como el mago Wang Lung, protagonista de \u00abEl juego de las decapitaciones\u00bb, prefiri\u00f3 una vez m\u00e1s que los n\u00fameros de su repertorio juguetearan con lo imposible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos\u00e9 Lezama Lima<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50908,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[23],"product_cat":[5808,5807,5806,8640],"product_tag":[5836],"class_list":["post-11393","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-epub-paradise","product_cat-ebooks","product_cat-epub","product_cat-espanol","product_cat-jose-lezama-lima","product_tag-fantastico","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
