Overview

The fourth title in the Spanish-language Revolucionarixs series explores the life of Argentina's Julio Cortázar, who moved writing in new directions with his magical and fantastical words. Author Nadia Fink interweaves Cortázar's fiction with information about the life of this revolutionary writer, whose short stories feature a rich cast of rare beasts. Whimsical illustrations by Pitu Saá capture the real and mythical worlds inhabited by Cortázar and his characters. The book ends with an activity to grow readers into writers, by encouraging them to delve into their imaginations and craft a ""how to"" manual of their own.
