He grows increasingly absorbed by the comic book's tale of bibliocide (a sinister bibliophobic plot to obliterate every book from the archives of humanity), especially when he sees the character Fantomas embark upon a series of telephone conversations with literary figures, starting with “The Great Argentine Writer” himself, Julio Cortázar (and also including Octavio Paz and a tough-talking Susan Sontag). Soon, Cortázar begins to erase the thin line between real-life atrocities and fictional mayhem in an attempt to bring attention to the human rights violations taking place with impunity in the country from which he was exiled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/julio-cortazar-books\"\u003eJulio Cortázar\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781584351344\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £12.97","offer_id":47916575293617,"sku":"SB-1584351349-C3","price":12.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1584351349_dc5320ae-0cd2-4625-9e62-26885d3bd9b6.jpg?v=1790302223"},{"product_id":"marelle-limaginaire","title":"Marelle (L'Imaginaire)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Le jazz, les amis, l'amour fou d'une femme sauveront-ils le héros\" et son double \"de l'échec du monde\" (D.

En 1951 fijó su residencia definitiva en París, desde donde desarrolló una obra literaria única dentro de la lengua castellana. Algunos de sus cuentos se encuentran entre los más perfectos del género. Su novela Rayuela conmocionó el panorama cultural de su tiempo y marcó un hito insoslayable dentro de la narrativa contemporánea.
