Paz thought of poetry as revelatory creation and activity, and Ruy Sánchez takes this idea as a guide for his book, as he unravels Paz's complex life and huge bibliography. For every reader who wants to look deep into the literary labyrinth of Mexico's emblematic writer, this concise and solid book proves an indispensable handbook."--
