Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
As a major novelist and short story writer, Cortazar (1914-1984) combined strong social commitment with experimental literary techniques. This skillfully translated posthumous collection of essays, based on a clandestine visit Cortazar took to Nicaragua in 1976, provides posterity with views on the writer's role in contemporary Latin American life. The sequences of the essays follows the Sandinista movement--to whom the book is dedicated--from opposition to the Somoza dynasty to contra-threatened power. The essays vary greatly in focus and in length and include discussion of the intellectual foundations for revolutionary doctrine and the role of writer in Latin America. Recommended, especially as a supplement to Latin American literature collections.
