Bloom, H. (2002) Octavio Paz, Infobase Publishing.

“Harold Bloom, an American essayist and the interpreter of the literature, and is Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University. He is recognized for his justification of 19th-century Romantic versifiers, his distinctive and intense philosophies of poetic inspiration, and his phenomenal fictional production, chiefly for a critic of literature. Bloom received the Fellowship of MacArthur in 1985. The works composed in this book are powerful, and a little mysterious but then again the subject is also of a peculiar nature. Bloom focusses on introducing the two chief prose written by Paz: The Labyrinth of Solitude and Sor Juana, or, the Traps of Faith; however, the rest of the eleven academic articles mainly deals with Paz's poetry. This book covers the several anxieties experienced by the versatile writer, ranging from contemporary poetry, Spanish coloniasm's impact on the Mexican culture, up to the existential quest for a fresh practice of godliness.

Thoughtful pupils will appreciate the trial of understanding this enlightened book, and may discover it slightly invigorating if not total intoxicating”.
