📖 About this session
For this session, we will read and discuss two stories where Latin American short story 🐐 Julio Cortázar seemingly uses children and their point of view as metaphors to very human emotions. Coincidentally, both stories are eponymous for two of his most acclaimed short story publications. Those stories are:
"End of the game" 🗽 - 1964 (ca 5000 words). Also available in Spanish here.
"Bestiary" 🐯 - 1951 (ca 6000 words). Also available in Spanish here.
After the discussion, feel free to stick around, socialize, and make new friends. ☕
