![]() ![]() Julio Cortázar is considered one of the finest Latin American writers of the Twentieth Century, a master of the short story and leader in the genre of the experimental novel. In another letter from 22 January 1964, Cortázar gives, at Micha's request, an idea of his intentions for the experimental novel Rayuela, and explains the different parts within the book's three "plans." Included with this letter are three-pages in French from the first part of Rayuela. In a letter from 25 March 1963, Cortázar writes about Historias de cronopios y de famas, commenting that his style embraced some of the magical aspects found in the writings of Henri Michaux, though he himself leans toward a blacker humor. While the letters mainly concern his contributions to the journal, Cortázar also discusses other writing projects. The Department of Special Collections possesses a collection of 10 letters of Julio Cortázar's to René Micha, editor of the French literary journal, L'Arc. ![]()
