Hopscotch

Is one of the best Latin American novels.

It was written by the Argentinian (IMO) literary genius José Cortázar (1914-1984), and I call it one of my favorites.

I could have posted this in culture forum, but I really want to encourage everybody to search the translation into your language and read it. You won't be disappointed.

Enjoy!

A pretty GGAY username, though.

I put it on my "to read" list when you mentioned it in the Culture forum a long time ago, but haven't even bought it yet... I still have several unread books on the bookshelf.

just had a look on wikipedia, sounds really interesting, ill give it a try, better not have too many big words though.

Good!

Here it is in English:

And here it is in German (I think):

Those links just take me to some bookshop on the Internet.

Luckily 'Hopscotch' is in my public library.

I didn't realise Cortazar was born and died so long ago. That explains the James Dean image in the photographs.

I was listening to tangos of poems he'd written the other day. One day I must visit Buenos Aires ... or perhaps Buenos Aires will come to visit me.
