Hopscotch, Blow-Up, We Love Glenda So Much: Introduction by Ilan Stavans (Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series)

These three groundbreaking works by Julio CortÃ¡zarâ€”a major figure of world literature and one of the founders of the Latin American Boomâ€”are published together in one volume for the first time, in honor of the centenary of his birth.

With his influential â€œcounternovelâ€ HOPSCOTCH and his unforgettable short stories, CortÃ¡zar earned a place among the most innovative authors of the twentieth century. HOPSCOTCH is a nonlinear novel about an Argentinean writer living in Paris; it consists of 155 short chapters that the author advises the reader to read out of order. BLOW-UP and WE LOVE GLENDA SO MUCH bring together the most famous of CortÃ¡zarâ€™s short fiction, including â€œAxolotl,â€ â€œEnd of the Game,â€ â€œThe Night Face Up,â€ â€œContinuity of Parks,â€ â€œBestiary,â€ and â€œBlow-Upâ€. These are stories in which invisible beasts stalk children in their homes, the reader of a mystery finds out that he is the murdererâ€™s intended victim, an injured motorcyclist is pursued by Aztec warriors, and a man becomes a salamander in a Parisian zoo. In CortÃ¡zarâ€™s work, laws of nature, physics, and narrative fall away, leaving us with an astonishing new view of the world.
