Book Description

A master class from the exhilarating writer Julio Cortázar "I want you to know that I'm not a critic or theorist, which means that in my work I look for solutions as problems arise." So begins the first of eight classes that the great Argentine writer Julio Cortázar delivered at UC Berkeley in 1980. These "classes" are as much reflections on Cortázar's own writing career as they are about literature and the historical moment in which he lived. Covering such topics as "the writer's path" ("while my aesthetic world view made me admire writers like Borges, I was able to open my eyes to the language of street slang, lunfardo...") and "the fantastic" ("unbeknownst to me, the fantastic had become as acceptable, as possible and real, as the fact of eating soup at eight o'clock in the evening"), Literature Class provides the warm and personal experience of sitting in a room with the great author. As Joaquin Marco stated in El Cultural, "exploring this course is to dive into Cortázar designing his own creations.... Essential for anyone reading or studying Cortázar, cronopio or not!"

This app has made 'reading' more versatile and enjoyable than ever. A functional audiobook. It kept me entertained, but I wasn’t blown away. The narrator’s performance was competent, though some emotional scenes fell a bit flat.

ListenBook has made my daily walks so much more enjoyable. I'm always learning now! The app's performance is unparalleled. It's like it's tailor-made for my device. I'm blown away by the silky-smooth playback, even for high-quality formats like FLAC. Top-notch performance! Downloading over WiFi is super efficient. Saves a lot of time. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
