Julio Cortázar, lector de literatura argentina

Abstract

It is not easy to imagine a Julio Cortázar’s library orderly in national terms; his thinking literature does not respond to these categories and rarely speaks of argentinian literature. He considered himself as a latinamerican writer and, in regional terms, as a rioplatense writer. Still, this work imagines the Cortázar’s argentinian library to reflect on some of the ways in which Cortázar built their own elective and selective traditions regarding argentine literature, and their peers are positioned, the literature that precedes him and his precursors.
