Description
It happened that a fame danced truce and danced catala in front of a warehouse full of cronopios and hopes. The most irritated were the Esperanzas because they always seek that the Famas do not dance a truce or catala but wait, which is the dance that the Cronopios and the Esperanzas know.» Histories of cronopios and fames (1962) is one of Julio Cortázar's legendary books. Postulating a poetic gaze capable of confronting the miseries of routine and common sense, Cortázar takes sides here with the creative imagination, the corrosive humor of the surrealists and the transcendental absurdity of pataphysics. This collection of endearing stories, instructions and vignettes is a privileged gateway to the inexhaustible world of one of the greatest writers of this century and a sure antidote to solemnity and boredom. Without a doubt, with this book Cortázar seals a pact of definitive and unconditional complicity with his readers.
