Questions of the Liminal in the Fiction of Julio Cortazar

The Argentinian writer, Julio Cortazar was immersed in one of the most vibrant and revolutionary intellectual scenes of the last century, the Paris of the 1950s and 60s. This book shows that his work engages with and often foreshadows many of the problems which were to become central to so-called poststructuralist philosophy and poetics.
