    Reclaiming Octavio Paz: Dutch Academic's New Book Challenges Commonplace Criticisms

    Maarten van Delden, a Dutch academic, presents 'Reality in Motion' (Grano de Sal), a book that reassesses the thought of Mexican Nobel laureate Octavio Paz. Van Delden argues that Paz's essayistic work, complex and dynamic, has been misinterpreted through commonplaces repeated over years. He analyzes Paz's ambivalence towards modernity, his views on revolutions, Mexico and the US, India, psychoanalysis, conservatism, poetry theory, and Paz as a literary character. Van Delden also addresses Paz's alleged misogyny, defending Paz's willingness to review his own convictions. The book, originally published in English in 2021, aims to return to Paz's texts to question interpretations that have become commonplaces.
