	cortazar
		They say Julio Cortazar was a big man and a great man he must have been too, because through literature he hit the readers, he helped us find beauty to better live our daily lives.
		Cortazar was an explorer, a seeker and a persecuter and at the end of his search and persecution he found himself, like Johnny Carter, but in a different way.
		Cortazar's zest for life, instead of reading information for real life, prompts us to touch and bite into reality, instead of bowing to language, he urges us to rise against it, to smash it and make up new words, a new speech, new dictionaries and encyclopaedias.

	Julio Cortazar and his poems
		The biography, or story of Julio Cortazar’s life, gives much explanation as to the source and often reason behind his writing.
		Cortazar often writes about uncomfortable situations, and so quite often a reader will completely miss the meaning of the story, because the story itself may be very uncomfortable subconsciously for the reader.
		Because this topic is uncomfortable for most readers, and something that a reader would much rather believe did not occur, the reader may and most likely will completely miss the subject matter that is being dealt with in the story.

	eye - BOOKS: Julio Cortazar -- Unreasonable Hours - 02.22.96 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Argentinean writer Julio Cortazar, who died in 1984, is probably best known for his reality-twisting stories and the 1963 novel Hopscotch, a masterfully written schizophrenic text (the protagonist seeks to disassemble his character into a continuum of non-referential moments and the author suggests an alternate order in which to read the chapters).
		But influential though it would to prove to be, by the time Hopscotch was published, Cortazar himself had begun to eschew the literary conceits for which he had become famous.
		Works of consummate artistry, these politically eloquent tales are full of humor, wisdom, style and horror -- a horror mitigated only by the beauty of the stories themselves and by their suggestion that truth and salvation may be found in leaps of imagination.

		Cortazar's imagination is boundless, his prose rich and luminous, his wit and sophistication rare, the dialogue brilliant, the plot...I won't attempt to describe that with a few adjectives.
		Cortazar's revolutionary novel is big on the last few, but not unexpectedly fails to be very engaging when it comes to story.
		Cortazar's Oliveira was neither here nor there, a vulnerable, endearing goof of an intellectual with absolutely no chance of suvival, as he himself realized, in what the world was already becoming.

		Cortazar loved paradoxes and unusual perspectives (in one of his essays he suggested that all stairs should be climbed facing backward), and for him every end was a beginning and every beginning an end.

	Cortazar Discussion
		For further readings, I think Cortazar would have encouraged reading Hopscotch in an inventive fashion, by doing exactly as you suggest: going beyond the instructions provided at the beginning of the novel.
		Of course, this means that you will be actively engaged in the creation of the text itself, not just a passive reader, very much like the Serpent Club characters who discover Morelli's disorganized notes while he is in the hospital and actively try to organize, arrange, and gather some meaning from them.
		Also, recall how at one point in the novel's first section a character locates Morelli's notes, begins reading, and then Cortazar's instructions take you to the Expendable Chapters, where you the reader are confronted with the "Morelliana" pages containing the same text of Morelli's notes then being read by Cortazar's character.

	Cortazar's Surreal Fiction Still Finds Its Mark
		Perhaps best known for his experimental novel ``Hopscotch'' and his short story ``Blow-Up'' (on which Antonioni's film was based), Cortazar delights in challenging our perceptions of reality: ``Don't believe that the telephone is going to give you the numbers you try to call, why should it?'' he warns by Page 4.
		Cortazar's tone, here, though jarring in the context of what has come before, is worthy of inclusion precisely because of its ability to startle and dislocate.
		In short, what Cortazar contributed to the world of fiction 40 years ago was a devilish lampooning of human frailties -- occasionally surreal, often macabre, yet always set against the questionable backdrop of perceived reality.
