Julio Cortázar - Blow Up Mug

Argentinian writer Julio Cortázar is one of the founders of the Latin American boom. He employed new ways of telling a story and is often connected with surrealism and magic realism. He frequently used non-linear narrating and the stream of consciousness, sometimes trying to emulate jazz improvisations. Cortázar was respected and loved by fellow Latin American writers. His prose also had an impact on star-directors of the auteur-cinema, Michelangelo Antonioni and Jean-Luc Godard.
