Reseña: I hate literary letters carefully drafted copied over and over I sit at the typewriter and let the vast river of thoughts and affection flow Julio Cortazar wrote in 1942: a statement he lived by. In these letters which read like a personal diary autobiography and -binnacle- for his books we glimpse the making of an unmistakable style. Ever-inquisitive Cortazar delves into every aspect of his efforts as a writer his political restlessness and personal ups-and-downs. He sums up each day comments on what he reads hears and sees and recounts his adventures as a translator militant and human rights advocate. No aspect of his life is left untouched: Argentina Buenos Aires Paris Cuba Nicaragua the Latin American literary boom friendship love and death. The author of Rayuela continues to dazzle readers with his wit clarity and the rare unity found between his life and work. Organized in five volumes* that span almost half a century (from 1937 to 1984) this revised edition of Cortezarian correspondence expounds upon the edition published in the year 2000. Included now are more than one thousand new letters fragments suppressed from the first edition and an index with the author s works and quoted individuals. Cartas de Cortazar gives us the impression that a man who enjoyed every second of his life was writing them down right now right next to us.
