I don't really get this meme that Cortazar is arthoe core. Maybe it's because I'm not american but I've never seen an arthoe read him.

Its excellent, although he is a better short-story writer than novelist.

This. If Cortazar was German and the book was about a Nazi in occupied France who escaped to Argentina after the war to work in a circus /lit/ would love it

If Cortazar was European they'd love it. Period.

he lived in europe for decades. sure, theres tons of argie references but as an argie, if i had not traveled to paris or those places in europe id have missed out on a lot of what the setting means in each story


in argentina it is pretty arthoe core. female students in the Beaux Artx universities usually say its their favorite book (i got laid from """"empathizing""" with La Maga, huh, the retards)

>> No.11254745

Couldn't get past chapter 22 to much pretentious drivel on Jazz and metaphysics.
