One of Julio Cortzar's great early novels. 'Anyone who doesn't read Cortzar is doomed.'Pablo NerudaWritten in 1950 (just before the fall of Pern's government), Final Exam is Julio Cortzar's bitter and melancholy allegorical farewell to an Argentina from which he would soon be permanently selfexiled.In a surreal Buenos Aires, a strange fog has enveloped the city to everyone's bewilderment. Juan and Clara, two students at a college called 'The House,' meet up with their friends, and, instead of preparing for their final exam, wander the city, encountering strange happenings and pondering life in cafs. All the while, they are trailed by the mysterious Abel.With its daring typography, shifts in rhythm, as well as wildly veering directions of thought and speech, Final Exam breaks new ground in the territory of streamofconsciousness writing. Darkly funnyand riddled with unresolved ambiguitiesFinal Exam is one of Cortzar's best works.Author of Hopscotch and BlowUp, Julio Cortzar's (19141984) was a novelist, poet, essayist, and shortstory writer. He was born in Brussels, lived in Argentina, but moved permanently to France in 1951, where he became one of the twentieth century's major experimental writers.
