5/14/2023 0 Comments Hopscotch book julio cortazar![]() ![]() Hopscotch in great measure succeeds: it is the Latin-American equivalent of books like The Wings of the Dove and Tender is the Night. They are trying to win for Latin America the experience of perspective won for North American letters by James, Stein, Fitzgerald, and the other great exiles-the escape from false alternatives, the achievement of synthesis. They know that an artist's physical alienation may be necessary to his spiritual rootedness. Poets and essayists like Octavio Paz and Jorge Luis Borges, artists like José Luis Cuevas and Roberto Matta, novelists like Julio Cortázar and Mario Vargas Llosa-all are trying to develop a new vision of life as accident and variety, outside the monolithic demands of a static history and a fixed geography. Captured within these conflicting absolutes, it is a humorless culture, never detached enough to see itself from the outside, from other perspectives.Īccordingly, the moving force of contemporary art and literature in Latin America is to come up for air. A pride in anarchy and a profound subservience before power: the gaucho, Martin Fierro, makes his own law, but only El Señor Presidente can solve our problems. Extreme individualism and apocalyptic collectivism: Viva Zapata, and the Aztecs will rise again. ![]() Nostalgia for the noble savage and eschatological yearning for the revolutionary man: who killed the Inca Atahualpa? And here comes Godot! Provincial attachment and cosmopolitan rootlessness: tequila vs. Latin America has a schizophrenic culture. ![]()

Above the tideline, gales chased dry sand against the rocks, forcing each particle to sing part of the keening dirge that blended with the sounds of the dark ocean. Soughing breakers crashed endlessly upon the strand, weary after their journey from the corners of the earth. Yet no beast knew the cause of it.Ī pale moon of early spring cast its wan light down upon the face of the mighty deeps, touching each wind-driven wave top with flecks of cold silver.

In stupefaction Ulrich watches the demonstrators from the window as they reach the foot of the palace, their faces turn up, turn furious, the men brandish their walking sticks, but “a few steps farther, at a bend where the demonstration seemed to scatter into the wings, most of them were already dropping their greasepaint: it would be absurd to keep up the menacing looks where there were no more spectators.” In the light of that metaphor, the demonstrators are not men in a rage they are actors performing rage! As soon as the performance is over they are quick to drop their greasepaint! Later, in the 1960s, philosophers would talk about the modern world in which everything had turned into spectacle: demonstrations, wars, and even love through this “quick and sagacious penetration” (Fielding), Musil had already long ago discerned the “society of spectacle.

How do you maintain momentum and remain inspired? It’s a tension I’m still navigating as an adult, a little me and a great me, and one my characters are often navigating as well. I try to be gentle with my loved ones, I try to be the great me whenever I can. I would never do that to a child-tell them they’re not being their best self when they’re angry, upset, sad, or vulnerable-but I must admit I still think about that book whenever I’m feeling mean-spirited, disdainful, or defensive, whenever I’m lashing out at those who don’t deserve it because sometimes we do that to make ourselves feel big when we are feeling small. ![]() My father had a copy that he read me often and referred to when he thought I wasn’t being my best self.
