Description
Julio Cortázar's groundbreaking novel, published in Vintage Classics for the first time, is a powerful exploration of the human experience. A complex and deeply unsettling work, it defies traditional narrative structures, instead offering a rich tapestry of potential meanings and intimations. At its centre is Horatio Oliveira, an Argentinian writer struggling to find inspiration after the disappearance of his muse. His life becomes increasingly entwined with that of Traveler, a fellow artist, as they navigate the blurred lines between reality and fiction. As their lives unfold in an inexhaustible game of indeterminacy, Cortázar's masterful prose weaves together fragments of jazz, literature, and art to create a sense of disorientation and uncertainty. This is a novel that challenges readers to re-evaluate their expectations of storytelling, and one that will leave a lasting impression long after the final page has been turned.
