We will read short stories by Julio Cortazar

Details

From Wikipedia: Julio Cortazar "is considered to be one of the most innovative and original authors of his time, a master of history, poetic prose, and short stories as well as the author of many groundbreaking novels, a prolific author who inaugurated a new way of making literature in the Hispanic world by breaking classical molds. He is perhaps best known as the author of multiple narratives that attempt to defy the temporal linearity of traditional literature."

We will read from the collection Blow-Up and Other Stories. We'll read Section 1 that contains the following stories: Axolotl, House Taken Over, The Idol of the Cyclades, Letter to a Young Lady in Paris, and A Yellow Flower.

(The photo in this announcement shows an axolotl.)
