A Fascinação das Palavras

Rate this book
ulio Cortázar e Omar Prego Gadea se encontraram pela última vez em 20 de janeiro de 1984. Eles haviam se conhecido dez anos antes, em um vernissage, em Paris. Em 1982, depois da morte de Carol Dunlop, companheira do escritor argentino, nasceu a ideia desta obra – “um livro muito doido”, segundo Cortázar. Os dois amigos combinaram, então, de escrever um texto “a quatro mãos”, sem temas proibidos. A conversa foi interrompida somente com o falecimento do autor, em 12 de fevereiro de 1984.

Precioso libro. Había leído las clases de Cortázar en Berkeley que son una verdadera maravilla y que me hicieron aprender que era además de un brillante escritor, un muy buen orador. Este libro incluye entrevistas muy bien organizadas en temáticas muy interesantes: los cuentos, la novela, un capítulo sobre Rayuela, el juego y el compromiso político, la poesía y mis dos preferidos: la música , jazz y tango y fobias, manías y vampirismo. Omar Prego Gadea es además de un admirador de Cortázar, un excelente entrevistador o dialogador. Además, incluye muy buenas fotografías, desde la infancia de Cortázar hasta del funeral

This book brings together conversations between Omar Prego and Julio Cortazar which explains the writing process, the inspiration and the contexts in which the latter wrote his short stories, novels and poems. After reading Rayuela and a couple of his short stories, this book brought to light some aspects that I had not quite understood in Cortazar's works.
