J.L . BOGENSCHNEIDER looks at domestic secrets and lies in stories by Heinrich Böll and Julio Cortázar : ‘Here then, are two families faced with the same problem: a fragile individual who must be protected from the truth at all costs…’
‘You could say Julio Cortázar was destined to write from the moment he was christened with the name Julio, after the French writer Jules Verne.’ HUGH FULHAM-McQUILLAN takes us through the life and works of Julio Cortázar.
BELLA WHITTINGTON recommends Julio Cortázar’s ‘Cartas de Mamá’ – ‘a subtle, precise and peculiarly believable story about a young Argentine couple living in Paris.’
