«El mono gramático» is Octavio Paz's lyrical essay, published by Planeta in hardback (132 pages, in Spanish).
Between the road to Galta, in India, and a garden in Cambridge, it combines prose poem and philosophical reflection to inquire into language and its relation to reality, the body, eroticism, and knowledge. It brings together Eastern cosmogonic myths, Tantric Buddhism, and references to Romantic art in a meditation on poetic creation as revelation.
It belongs to the International Contemporary Classics collection, where it appears as volume 23. The work was originally published in 1974.
For readers interested in poetry, philosophy, and twentieth-century Latin American literature.
