A Certain Lucas
A kaleidoscopic jeu from Julio Cortázar--the internationally acclaimed short story writer and novelist--that demonstrates once again, in Cortázar's singular and singularly witty way, the proper study of mankind. A series of brilliant, eccentrically interlocking pieces, by turns comic, philosophical, illusive, and allusive, and always a pleasure to read: these are the means through which Cortázar reveals the essence of one particular man's life. (Alfred A. Knopf Books)
