Little masterpieces

Hi again buddies,

Today i'm gonna talking about the books, well, really about a writer, my favourite writer: Julio Cortazar.

He was born in Belgium, but his is Argentinian, and he lived the most part of his life in different countries of europe.
I think he is a master of short stories, a little masterpieces with no time, I mean, his style of writing is nearly surrealistic, he mix all of ingredients of a good story and make an intrincate relate full of daily things but with another point of view.

Personally, my favourite stories are ''Usted se tendio a tu lado'' and ''En nombre de Boby'', in the first one, Cortazar plays with the reader, I mean, he mix two relates of the same history about a boy in his first sexual relationship, one of them is from his mother and the other is from the kid, but the most extraordinary part of this relate is that the both point of view of this story are mixed word by word, I mean, in the begginig of every sentences one of two relators narrate the story and at the finish of sentences speak the other one. I think this is very extraordinary form of telling a story.

The second story ''En nombre de Boby'', is an story about a little child that have fear of his dreams, and his aunt thinks that is provocated for her sister, the mum of the child, (SPOIRLER ALERT!). Indeed, the dreams are provocated for his mum, allthough the reason is not explained, in the ending of story, the child kill his mother with a knife. Shocking isn't?

well, finally, I can say: Cortazar is an amazing writer.

See you in the next one buddies.
