«Casa Tomada y Otros Relatos» is the collection of short stories by Julio Cortázar published by Aguilar in 1995 in paperback (78 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together three stories by the Argentine writer in which the extraordinary breaks into everyday scenes. In «Casa Tomada», two siblings watch as their family home in Buenos Aires is gradually occupied by a mysterious presence. «La Autopista del Sur» describes a gigantic traffic jam near Paris with a realistic tone that makes the absurd believable. In «Carta a una Señorita en París», a man confesses to his friend that he occasionally vomits little rabbits.
It belongs to the Relato Corto collection (No. 8).
For readers of short fiction and Latin American literature, as well as for young people and adults who want to approach the fantastic fiction of Julio Cortázar.
Julio Florencio Cortázar was an Argentine and naturalised French novelist, short story writer, poet, essayist, and translator. Known as one of the founders of the Latin American Boom, Cortázar influenced an entire generation of Spanish-speaking readers and writers in America and Europe.
