by Julio Cort?zar (Author)

El último libro de cuentos de Cortázar.

«Cortázar es el mejor. --Roberto Bolaño

«La verdadera revolución de Cortázar está en sus cuentos. Más discreta pero más profunda y permanente, porque soliviantó a la naturaleza misma de la ficción, a esa entraña indisociable de forma-fondo, medio-fin, arte-técnica que ella se vuelve en los creadores más logrados. En sus cuentos, Cortázar no experimentó encontró, descubrió, creó algo imperecedero . --Mario Vargas Llosa

«Y yo, bueno, qué sé yo lo que entendí, te lo cuento por si en una de ésas, nunca se sabe, la verdad que no sé por qué te lo cuento, a lo mejor porque ya estoy viejo y hablo demasiado.

Publicado originalmente en 1983, Deshoras fue el último libro de cuentos de Julio Cortázar. Juegos de palabras que no son juegos, espejos que mienten y dicen la verdad al mismo tiempo, pesadillas del fascismo, sociedades secretas a punto de salir a la luz, simetrías abismales, simulacros dobles de amor y de muerte: todo el mundo cortazariano, complejo, cruel y fascinante, cartografía de lo cotidiano y lo insólito.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Unreasonable Hours is a collection of eight stories that combine realism with the fantastic to illustrate the heroism of ordinary people in an absurd world. In Don't Blame Anyone, for example, a man simply tries to put on a wooly sweater. But in the attempt, he manages to show more courage, faith, and moral strength than many other more obvious heroes. Julio Cortazar's characters are all innocent: things happen to them; if they are responsible, their responsibility is hidden from them. Their only course of action is to follow the circumstances that fate, or chance, has set before them. With an excellent translation by Alberto Manguel, this is the first time these short stories have appeared in English. --Midwest Book Review

Author Biography

Nacido en Bruselas en 1914, durante una estancia temporal de sus padres en esa ciudad, es uno de los escritores argentinos más importantes de todos los tiempos. Realizó estudios de Letras y de Magisterio y trabajó como docente en varias ciudades del interior de Argentina. En 1951 fijó su residencia definitiva en París, desde donde desarrolló una obra literaria única dentro de la lengua castellana. Algunos de sus cuentos se encuentran entre los más perfectos del género. Rayuela conmocionó el panorama cultural de su tiempo y marcó un hito insoslayable dentro de la narrativa contemporánea. Cortázar murió en París en 1984.
