Cartas de
Cortázar 1 (1937-1954)
Julio
Cortázar
I
hate literary letters, carefully drafted, copied over and over; I sit
at the typewriter and let the vast river of thoughts and affection
flow, Julio Cortazar wrote in 1942: a statement he lived by. In these
letters, which read like a personal diary, autobiography and for his
books, we glimpse the making of an unmistakable style.
Ever-inquisitive, Cortazar delves into every aspect of his efforts as a
writer, his political restlessness and personal ups-and-downs.

families—American, German, Russian, English,
Welsh—enter a time of enormous social, political, and
economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through
the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the
explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs.
