Cortázar, siempre

Abstract

This text is a testimony, not only of a friendship, but the X-ray of the man and writer that Cortázar was and is. The author fires up the machine of memory to remember those moments that are a sum of places, dates on which are the condition of “cronopio”, that sensible, naughty, innocent, subvertor subject, which were present one and another encounters, without this, at any time, having attacked the first image or that which the author imagined or supposed about the author of La Casa Tomada: a man faithful to his ideas and therefore his poetics and his ethics. As Sosnowki notes, “In the case of Cortázar (please forgive, I hope, the rhythm of tango-flavored bolero), the pass of time is not forgotten nor lengthens the distance”.
