Unreasonable hours

by Julio Cortázar

"Seven stories from Cortázar's volume Deshoras (see HLAS 48:5600). Useful afterword by Manguel places work in biographical, literary, and political context. Powerful, often fantastic narrations told from different points of view, compellingly translated by Manguel. Important contribution to Cortázar bibliography in English"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
