"[D]ense, challenging, obscure, highly allusive and at times incoherent, and generally lacks the magic that characterizes the mature Cortazar. At the same time, it is an ambitious, innovative and revealing book....FINAL EXAM is an intriguing book for the patient reader with avant-garde sympathies, or for anyone who--like most who know him--loves Julio."
Thomas Christensen, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 04/02/2000

Book Description: New Directions Publishing Corporation, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. In its characters, themes, and preoccupations, Final Exam prefigures Cortazar's later fictions, including Blow-Up and his masterpiece, Hopscotch. Written in 1950 (just before the fall of Peron's government), it is Cortazar's allegorical, bitter, and melancholy farewell to an Argentina from which he was about to be permanently self-exiled. (Cortazar moved to Paris the following year.)The setting of Final Exam is a surreal Buenos Aires, dark and eerie, where a strange fog has enveloped the city to everyone's bewilderment. Juan and Clara, two students, meet up with their friends Andres and Stella, as well as a journalist friend they call "the chronicler." Juan and Clara are getting ready to take their final exams, but instead of preparing, they wander the city with their friends, encounter strange happenings in the squares and ponder life in cafes. All the while, they are trailed by the mysterious Abel.With its daring typography, its shifts in rhythm as well as in the wildly veering directions of its characters' thoughts and speech, Final Exam breaks new ground in the territory of stream-of-consciousness narrative techniques. It is considered one of Cortazar's best works. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780811217521 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
