62: A Model Kit

Julio Cortázar · 1968 CE · Novel · Latin American · Contemporary

Friends move between Paris, London and Vienna — a translator, an antiques dealer, a woman in love with a woman — and all of them also inhabit a place they call the City, entered in sleep and recognised by everyone who has been there. Nothing is explained by motive; people are drawn into configurations they do not choose. Built to the program a fictional novelist sets out in chapter sixty-two of Hopscotch.
