Ever inquisitive, Cortázar delves into every aspect of his efforts as a writer, his political restlessness, and personal ups-and-downs. He sums up each day, comments on what he reads, hears and sees, and recounts his adventures as a translator, militant, and human rights advocate. Organized in five volumes that span almost half a century (from 1937 to 1984), this revised edition of “Cortezarian” correspondence includes more than one thousand new letters, fragments suppressed from the fi rst edition and an index with the author’s works and quoted individuals.
