's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: fiction, latin-america

Six out of eight of these highly imaginative and meaningful short stories were just brilliant! And after reading Blow-up and other stories, and really liking that, Cortázar is a writer I now truly admire. Will certainly read more of him, with Hopscotch likely next. But the trouble with a lot of his other work is going to be getting hold of it in English, as my Spanish sucks.

The eight stories scored -

House taken - 4/5
Letter to a lady in Paris - 5/5
Distant - 5/5
Omnibus - 3/5
Headache - 5/5
Circe - 4/5
The gates of heaven - 5/5
Bestiary - 5/5

Czarny Pies I like this system of rating the individual stories. Without realizing it, I have been delaying writing a review of Olga Tokarczuk's latest book because I hadn't thought of your system.
