Cortázar is undoubtedly a master of the short story and a natural storyteller. But there is always a look before and after these stories, a new duality that emerges from a semantic contortionism that cannot leave anyone indifferent.

Some good stories, plenty not. Not worth my time finishing it.

Casa ocupada 3* achei curioso, mas nada de especial

Carta a uma rapariga 3* a única explicação que tenho é que claramente o protagonista deste conto enlouqueceu e estava em grande sofrimento

Distante 4,5* foi o que eu gostei mais, mas é o que está mais fora do estilo do autor

Omnibus 2*

Cefaleia (????) nao sei que nota dar porque não percebi nada. Eles vão ficando doentes quando tratam dos bichos? É só isso?

Circe 3*

As portas do céu 4*

Bestiário 4*

Mi primer Cortázar. Brillante y con un bonito uso del español.

"La casa tomada" me hizo pensar en Lovecraft y William Hope Hodgson.
