Composed of a series of unpublished letters between Julio Cortázar, his wife Carol Dunlop, and the translator Silvia Monrós-Stojakovic, this volume presents three first-rate writers at their most unguarded and very best. Cortázar is Cortázar, of course; Monrós-Stojakovic proves herself an agile and witty writer, offering insights into the tense social and political situation in Belgrade in the early 1980s; and Dunlop, coauthor with Cortázar of Autonauts of the Cosmoroute, writes in a hesitant but highly evocative Spanish, revealing details that will be of particular interest to Cortázar aficionados. The letters unspool a narrative thread of high literary value-a story in which Cortázar and Dunlop are the protagonists-and provides previously unknown biographical details. They also serve as a unique testament to the unbridled passion that the three writers felt for literature and life.
