ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Published on the 25th anniversary of the author’s death, this work is an extensive assortment of writings and unedited texts written throughout Cort zar’s life. Grouped in three sections following a rough internal chronology: poems, prose and self-interviews, the writings include unknown short stories and different versions of published ones, unedited stories of Cronopios and famas, episodes on Lucas, a torn chapter from A Manual for Manuel, speeches, prologues, critiques, journalistic texts, poems, portraits of personalities, and chronicles of trips. The texts in prose, which constitute the majority of the volume, have been further grouped by similarity: short narratives, essays mainly of political and ideological content, commentary on other artist’s productions, and undeniably masterful yet completely unclassifiable pages. Edited by a wise and loving hand, this book gives rise to an extraordinary reunion with Julio Cort zar in all his multiple facets –the formal writer in the making of 1938, the brilliant short-story teller, playful and committed, the sharp music and art critic, the journalist, the poet.
