-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1980, Cortázar was invited to the University of California, Berkeley to teach a two-month literature course.
This book is a transcription of the recordings of eight lectures given by the writer at that time. Playful by nature, he and his students "partnered" to play a game, trying to make literature interesting and closely related to real life. The thirteen-hour discussion revealed Cortázar's writing secrets: the interpretation of fantasy stories, the musicality, humor, and playfulness in literature, fantasy and realism, and the analysis of his own works and creative path... Cortázar once again performed his magic and turned the literature class into a serious game.
"Literature Class" is an invitation, and the great writer Cortázar solemnly invites you to participate.
