Divertimento

Dive into the mesmerizing dreamworld of Latin America''s literary great, Julio Cortazar. As the 1949 carnival dances on in Buenos Aires, a group of young creatives gather in the sumptuous seclusion of an art studio. In this surreal, bohemian sanctuary, ruled by the dazzling Renato Lozano, elaborate meals are assembled, while strange poetry and merciless witticisms flow like wine. Yet, as time passes, tensions and secrets begin to unravel, and so too do the boundaries of established reality. Divertimento will whisk you away on a bizarre and brilliant journey, taking you to the hidden heart of art, fantasy and the alchemy that is creative interpretation. This is Julio Cortazar''s bold, experimental debut, here translated into English for the very first time. TRANSLATED BY HARRY MORALES ''Anyone who doesn''t read Cortazar is doomed'' Pablo Neruda ''A first-class literary imagination'' The New York Times Book Review
