288 Pages
Published 1985 by Pantheon Books
Interesting Fact: In addition to his stories, poetry, and novels, Cortázar published a graphic novel in 1975 titled Fantomas vs. The Multinational Vampires.
From Saturday Review: “Cortázar displays throughout his stories the ability to elevate them above the condition of those gimmicky tales which depend for effect solely on a twist ending. His genius here lies in the knack for constructing striking, artistically ‘right’ subordinate circumstances out of which his fantastic and metaphysical whimsies appear normally to spring.”
From Time Magazine: “[Cortázar] is a unique storyteller. He can induce the kind of chilling unease that strikes like a sound in the night.”
