Bestiary

A collection of masterful short stories in Julio Cortazar's sophistocated, powerful and gripping style.'Julio Cort zar is truly a sorcerer and the best of him is here, in these hilariously fraught and almost eerily affecting stories' Kevin BarryA grieving family home becomes the site of a terrifying invasion. A frustrated love triangle, brought together by a plundered Aztec idol, spills over into brutality. A lodger s inability to stop vomiting bunny rabbits inspires a personal confession. As dream melds into reality, and reality melts into nightmare, one constant remains throughout these thirty-five stories: the singular brilliance of Julio Cortazar s imagination.WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY KEVIN BARRY Anyone who doesn't read Cort zar is doomed Pablo Neruda
