OrIoff shows that Cortzar did not become a political writer as a result of the Cuban Revolution, as is often claimed, but rather that the representation of the political was present in Cortzar's very first writings.The book analyses the evolution of the representation of distinct political elements throughout Cortzar's writings, mainly with reference to the novels and the socalled collage books, which have so far received only limited critical attention. The author also alludes to some short stories and refers to many of Cortzar's nonliterary texts. Through this chosen corpus, the book follows a thematic thread, showing that politics was present in Cortzar's fiction from his very first writings, and not as he himself tended to claim only following his conversion to socialism. The study aims to show that contrary to what many critics have argued, this political conversion did not divide the writer into an irreconcilable before and after the apolitical versus the political but rather it simply shifted the emphasis of the representation of the political that already existed in Cortzar's writings.Carolina Orloff is an independent scholar working on research projects in the UK and in Argentina.
