Relation To Books Todos los fuegos el fuego

Todos los fuegos el fuego offers eight great examples of the creative fullness that encompasses Cortazar's stories. From the exasperated metaphor of human relationships that is "La autopista del sur" through the masterpiece that is "El otro cielo," Cortazar once again paves the way to stories that are a must-read for lovers of the story genre in general. "La salud de los enfermos," "Reunión," "La señorita Cora," "La isla a mediodía," "Instrucciones para John Howell," and "Todos los fuegos el fuego" are a celebration of intelligence, passion, and genius.

I have almost forgotten the pleasure of reading short stories... that feeling when you appear in a situation that starts from nowhere and fades away into nowhere... like a screenshot... only a moment... no conclusions... only expectations... this is my first real experience with Cortázar... except for some short excerpts during Spanish language classes... I dont want to make any conclusions yet... but Im happy to have discovered him...

This collection of short stories was originally published in 1966 in Spanish, translated into English in 1973, and re-released by Marion Boyers Publishers (UK) in 2005; I picked it up at the London Review Bookshop this summer.If I had only read the first two short stories, "The Southern Thruway" and "The Health of the Sick", I would have given this book 5 stars. The first story is about a horrific traffic jam on a major road bringing travelers back to Paris, where motorists are essentially

"Anyone who hasn't read Cortazar is doomed... He would quietly become sadder, noticeably paler, and probably, little by little, he would lose his hair." -- Pablo Neruda.
