OrIoff shows that Cortazar did not become a political writer as a
result of the Cuban Revolution, as is often claimed, but rather
that the representation of the political was present in Cortazar's
very first writings. The book analyses the evolution of the
representation of distinct political elements throughout Cortazar's
writings, mainly with reference to the novels and the so-called
collage books, which have so far received only limited critical
attention. The author also alludes to some short stories and refers
to many of Cortazar's non-literary texts. Through this chosen
corpus, the book follows a thematic thread, showing that politics
was present in Cortazar's fiction from his very first writings, and
not - as he himself tended to claim - only following his conversion
to socialism. The study aims to show that contrary to what many
critics have argued, this political conversion did not divide the
writer into an irreconcilable before and after - the apolitical
versus the political - but rather it simply shifted the emphasis of
the representation of the political that already existed in
Cortazar's writings. Carolina Orloff is an independent scholar
working on research projects in the UK and in Argentina.
