Description: This anthology is an attempt to examine the works of the Argentine writer Julio Cortazar from a perspective informed by contemporary critical concerns. The articles gathered here investigate Cortazar's oeuvre from a variety of critical positions and focus on several of his multifarious writings: poems, short stories, novels, and miscellanea.

The intention has been to create a context for a reappraisal of Cortazar that questions received notions and assumptions about his works and hence pave the way for a reevaluation of his contribution to and place in Latin American letters.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
