Summary
Julio Cortazar: Secret Weapon
5 stories for playing and fantasizing
Comparing the story and the novel with boxing, Cortázar once said that "the novel wins by the number of points, while the story is the one that knocks us out". In line with what has been said, we offer you here probably the most beautiful knockout in the history of boxing and literature: Secret Weapon, Cortázar's most famous collection of stories! All five stories in this collection have Paris as a background, and Cortázar's suggestive language and brilliant metaphors faithfully evoke the atmosphere of Paris through the sounds of jazz and the smells of tobacco and coffee. These stories-gems are the ultimate reader's challenge - they bring a new, somewhat unreal, sense of reality and establish a completely different order in reality. Although there are elements of fantasy in them, just like in magical realism, Cortázar is actually most interested in the unusual and unusual in everyday life. In an intriguing and seductive way, the narrator in each of the stories replaces reality with some other plan, unrealistic or irrational, about which he says: "I believe that all my unhappiness, as well as happiness, at the same time stem from the fact that since childhood I did not accept things as they are. It was not enough for me to be told that this is a table, or that the word 'mother' is just the word 'mother', and that everything ends there. In short, my relationship with words is no different from my relationship with the world in general." It seems that I was not born to accept things as they are."
In addition to an undoubtedly good handwriting, this "protest" attitude is an additional reason to escape with the Colorful Shop to the "better past", where Julio Cortázar awaits us among the immortal plumes of the pen!
