Julio Cortazar "Hopscotch. Blow-Up. We Love Glenda So Much"
With his "counter-novel" "Hopscotch" and his unforgettable short stories, Julio Cortázar earned a place among the most innovative authors of the twentieth century. "Hopscotch" follows
the adventures of an Argentinean writer living in Paris with his lover
and a circle of bohemian friends, and consists of 155 short chapters
that the author advises us to read out of order. "Blow-Up" brings
together the most famous of Cortázar's short fiction--stories where
invisible beasts stalk children in their homes, where a man reading a
mystery finds out that he is the murderer's intended victim. In
Cortázar's work, laws of nature, physics, and narrative all fall away,
leaving us with an astonishing new view of the world.
