See how good this review is...! I would like to think Cortazar inspired you Dani! We share the same admiration!
RAYUELA
Rayuela is an amazing novel written by Julio Cortazar, a famous Argentinian writer, who died in Paris in 1984. Cortazar created this masterpiece in 1963. Soon, it became his most popular book and made him win several literature prizes due to its unusual and intelligent style.
The story takes place in Paris, city in which Cortazar lived most of his life. It is about two young people, a boy and a girl who arrive in Paris from Argentina and Uruguay to try their luck and who fall in love in a very strange way. Horacio Oliveira is addicted to literature and jazz. La Maga is a very kind and innocent woman who doesn’t know much about those issues, but who shares with Horacio his love for freedom and simplicity. They participate with other friends in a literature group called “La Serpiente”, in which they discuss different topics, usually about philosophy. Their love story gets complicated when they realize it has become part of their routine.
Although it is a novel with a high level of complexity and, therefore, it sometimes gets difficult to understand, I find it the most perfect piece of writing that has ever been written. Since I first read it, I have reread it many times because every time I go through it, I discover new ways of interpreting the story. Personally, I admire such breathtaking talent from a writer. I definitely recommend it!
