One such close friend was the journalist and writer Luis Llorens Torres, who would later refer to Clara Lair as "the Alfonsina Storni of Puerto Rico.

"[5]" In the first decades of the 20th century, Lair caused great controversy for her liberal and feminist writings, published in the literary magazines Juan Bobo and Idearium between 1916 and 1917, under the pseudonym Hedda Gabler, alluding to the character of Ibsen.

A short time later, she would be recognized as an important figure in Latin American literary history by the Puerto Rico Institute of Literature.

[2][6] As of 1959, she began to publish in the Journal of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture fragments of a fictionalized biography with the title of Memories of an islander that remains unfinished right at the beginning.

"[7] A docudrama about the life of Negrón Muñoz titled "A Passion Named Clara Lair" was produced and directed by Ivonne Belen in 1996.
