A collection of masterful short stories in Julio Cortazar''s sophistocated, powerful and gripping style.
''Julio Cort-r is truly a sorcerer and the best of him is here, in these hilariously fraught and almost eerily affecting stories'' Kevin Barry
A grieving family home becomes the site of a terrifying invasion. A frustrated love triangle, brought together by a plundered Aztec idol, spills over into brutality. A lodger-s inability to stop vomiting bunny rabbits inspires a personal confession.
As dream melds into reality, and reality melts into nightmare, one constant remains throughout these thirty-five stories: the singular brilliance of Julio Cortazar-s imagination.
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY KEVIN BARRY
-Anyone who doesn''t read Cort-r is doomed- Pablo Neruda
