As well as the nine essays on his country's psyche and history that make up The Labyrinth of Solitude, this highly acclaimed volume also includes The Other Mexico, Paz's heartfelt response to the government massacre of over three hundred students in Mexico City in 1968, and Return to the Labyrinth of Solitude, in which he discusses his famous work with Claude Fell. The two final essays contain further reflections on the Mexican government.

Octavio Paz (1914-1998) was born in Mexico City. He wrote many volumes of poetry, as well as a prolific body of remarkable works of nonfiction on subjects as varied as poetics, literary and art criticism, politics, culture, and Mexican history. He was awarded the Jerusalem Prize in 1977, the Cervantes Prize in 1981, and the Neustadt Prize in 1982. He received the German Peace Prize for his political work, and finally, the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1990.

Eliot Weinberger is an essayist, editor, and translator. He lives in New York City.
