Description
This course will explore selected narrative works by Argentinean writer Julio Cortázar. Among the works, Rayuela (1963) will be included. The art of the short story will be represented by his first published collection Bestiario and a selection of subsequent publications as well as selections from his most revealing interviews and critiques of his works. Among the topics to be discussed are: literature as a ludic, playful activity, self-referential literature, the fantastic, and Cortazar's interests on film, photography, and translation. Finally, the course will assess the impact Cortazar's art of fiction has had (and continues to have) on later authors.
