A flight attendant becomes obsessed with a small Greek island, resulting in a surreal encounter with death. In All Fires the Fire, Julio Cortázar (author of Hopscotch and the short story "Blow-Up" ) creates his own mindscapes beyond space and time, where lives intersect for brief moments and situations break and refract. All Fires the Fire contains some of Julio Cortázar's most beloved stories. It is a classic collection by "one of the world's great writers" (Washington Post).

On Argentina

"Estamos fascinados con las vidas de los escritores porque queremos ser escritores? La vida del escritor parece ideal, libre; el o ella parece tenernecesidades materiales minimas "y puede viajar, vivir en cualquier parte" para trabajar.(...) La curiosidad biografica del lector, entonces, probablemente sea descubrir la "verdad" detras de las ficciones, comparar la vida vivida y la vida escrita, comprender que el escritor se siente impulsado a rehacer la vida en la ficcion...," sostiene la autora en el prologo del libro.Suzanne Jill-Levine pone al desnudo ese juego fascinante entre el sujeto real Manuel Puig y sus creaciones, muestra -como no sucede en ninguna otra biografia publicada hasta el momento- los resortes creativos del autor que reinvento la literatura a partir del agudo oido en lo popular y el sarcasmo.Su amistad con Manuel Puig, el acceso a las cartas y la profunda investigacion de su vida y de su obra, le ha permitido a la autora sacar a la luz el copiosoarchivo con notas y entrevistas que cultivo durante anos. Todo esto hace de Manuel Puig y la mujer arana. Su vida y sus ficciones un libro diferente eimprescindible, solido y exhaustivo, absolutamente necesario para conocer y comprender al primer novelista pop del continente.

Translating Latin American Fiction

The Subversive Scribe

Katie Lateef-Jan

This collection brings together contributions from translation theorists, linguists, and literary scholars to promote interdisciplinary dialogue about untranslatability and its implications within the context of globalization. The chapters depart from the pragmatics of translation practice and move on to consider the role of the translator’s voice and the translator as author in specific literary works. The volume as a whole seeks to study and at times dramatize the interplay between translation as a creative practice and its place within the dynamic between local and global examining case studies across a wide variety of literary genres and traditions across regions. By highlighting the complex interface between translation practice and theory, translator and author, and local and global, this book will be of particular interest to graduate students and scholars in translation studies and literary studies.
