Críticas
A first-class literary imagination.
One of those books that radically shifted my thinking about the possibilities of narrative.--Christopher Higgs
The consequent lectures--originally delivered in Spanish and translated adeptly by Katherine Silver--are erudite, intimate, charmingly fragmented, and anecdotal, covering a range of topics, from "Eroticism and Literature" to "The Realistic Short Story."--Dustin Illingworth
Based on the words spoken by Cortázar and his students, the class that he taught appears to be an interesting hybrid of Cortázar as tour guide of his body of work, and as mentor into the broader lessons about the qualities of fiction that resonated most with him.
As Cortázar stresses throughout his talks, writing is rarely a pursuit of answers but, rather, about investigation--of the self, of one's work, and of the world at large. The goal of the novel, Cortázar says, is to harmonize its formal and literal questions into a central, destabilizing quandary: 'Why are things like they are and not otherwise?
[T]he lectures, at times, do feel cobbled together--but in the best way, in the way of art that thrives in complexity and contradiction. They are made from pieces of Cortázar's life, his writing, his experiences as a young writer in Argentina and an as exile in Paris, his deep engagement with literature and cinema and politics, and they show the mind of a writer at work, asking questions and unearthing new possibilities.--John Flynn-York
A glittering showcase for a daring talent--Julio Cortázar is a dazzler.
Cortázar spoke of something more than novelty or progress--he spoke of the radically new and joyful nature of every instant, of the body, the memory and the imagination of men and women.--Carlos Fuentes
He was, perhaps without trying, the Argentine who made the whole world love him.--Gabriel García Márquez
Anyone who doesn't read Cortázar is doomed.--Pablo Neruda
Reseña del editor
“I want you to know that I’m not a critic or theorist, which means that in my work I look for solutions as problems arise.” So begins the first of eight classes that the great Argentine writer Julio Cortázar delivered at UC Berkeley in 1980. These “classes” are as much reflections on Cortázar’s own writing career as they are about literature and the historical moment in which he lived. Covering such topics as “the writer’s path” (“while my aesthetic world view made me admire writers like Borges, I was able to open my eyes to the language of street slang, lunfardo...”) and “the fantastic” (“unbeknownst to me, the fantastic had become as acceptable, as possible and real, as the fact of eating soup at eight o’clock in the evening”), Literature Class provides the warm and personal experience of sitting in a room with the great author. As Joaquin Marco stated in El Cultural, “exploring this course is to dive into Cortázar designing his own creations.... Essential for anyone reading or studying Cortázar, cronopio or not!”
