He studied at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, and his working life took in an unusually broad range of roles: he was a novelist, poet, essayist, playwright, translator, screenwriter, literary critic, and university teacher. He worked across Spanish, French, and English. His writing moved within the currents of magic realism and surrealism, and the novel that would become Hopscotch emerged from a sensibility formed across two continents and several literary traditions. He eventually settled in Paris, where the texture of daily life in the city became woven into the book's central sections.\n\nThe recognition that came to Cortázar in later life reflected the reach of his work across linguistic borders. He received the Prix Médicis étranger, a French award given to foreign-language fiction, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Poitiers. These honours acknowledged a writer who had spent his career moving between cultures and languages, producing work in Spanish that nonetheless belonged, in some essential way, to the literary life of France as much as to that of Argentina.\n\nCortázar died on February 12, 1984, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. His career as a novelist, poet, essayist, and translator had stretched across decades and continents, and the Prix Médicis étranger he received stands as a concrete marker of the esteem in which his fiction was held beyond the Spanish-speaking world. Hopscotch remains the work most directly associated with his name.","Hopscotch, published in 1963, is a novel that invites its readers to move through its chapters in any order they choose, assembling the narrative according to a set of instructions embedded in the text itself.","julio-cortazar",null,[14,18,22,26,30,34,38],{"tag_id":15,"tag_name":16,"tag_count":17},126004,"rayuela",35,{"tag_id":19,"tag_name":20,"tag_count":21},6050,"amor",21,{"tag_id":23,"tag_name":24,"tag_count":25},25,"love",14,{"tag_id":27,"tag_name":28,"tag_count":29},60,"writing",13,{"tag_id":31,"tag_name":32,"tag_count":33},24,"life",8,{"tag_id":35,"tag_name":36,"tag_count":37},230,"story",5,{"tag_id":39,"tag_name":40,"tag_count":37},30753,"argentina",{"quotes":42,"pagination":114},[43,51,57,63,69,75,81,87,93,105],{"id":44,"quote_text":45,"author_id":5,"source_id":46,"has_image":47,"author":48,"source":49,"quote_tag":50,"commentary":12},3178363,"Nothing is more comical than seriousness understood as a virtue that has to precede all important literature.",6,false,{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":52,"quote_text":53,"author_id":5,"source_id":46,"has_image":47,"author":54,"source":55,"quote_tag":56,"commentary":12},3178346,"I have never described this to you before, not so much, I don’t think, from lack of truthfulness as that, just naturally, one is not going to explain to people at large that from time to time one vomits up a small rabbit.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":58,"quote_text":59,"author_id":5,"source_id":46,"has_image":47,"author":60,"source":61,"quote_tag":62,"commentary":12},3178336,"The short-story writer knows that he can’t proceed cumulatively, that time is not his ally.
