End of the Game and Other Stories by Julio Cortázar
End of the game is one of the most important collections of stories of the second half of the 20th century. Engaged in transgressing the laws of conventional narrative, in these eighteen stories Julio Cortázar combines intertextuality, an unpublished use of the colloquial and endless game to bring the reader into a particular universe where nothing is what it seems. It is not about simple literature: what the Argentine author invites us to do is to suspect the seriousness and the credulous rationalism of our world. «Continuity of the parks», «Poisons», «Axolotl» or «Night face up» are some of the mythical stories that make up this essential volume.
