    <![CDATA[Julio Cortazar's classic 1968 novel about an unnamed European &quot;city&quot; is a brilliant and intricate blueprint for life in the so-called &quot;City.&quot; As Juan, one of the main characters puts it: to one person the City might appear as Paris, to another it might be where one goes upon getting out of bed in Barcelona; to another it might appear as a beer hall in Oslo. This cityscape is the meeting place for a wild assortment of bohemians.  <p>Description in Spanish: 62/Modelo para armar es el summum del trabajo cortazariano; un modelo literario en el cual &quot;la transgresión deja de ser tal&quot;, y en el que lector también deja de serlo para convertirse él mismo en una parte activa que va destejiendo imagen tras imagen, frase tras frase, con el fin de descubrir el hilo conductor del relato, y dar forma y figura a los personajes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Cortazar's classic 1968 novel about an unnamed European &quot;city&quot; is finally back in print as a New Directions Classic. First published in English in 1972 and long out of print, <em>62: A Model Kit</em> is Julio Cortazar's brilliant, intricate blueprint for life in the so-called &quot;City.&quot; As one of the main characters, the intellectual Juan, puts it: to one person the City might appear as Paris, to another it might be where one goes upon getting out of bed in Barcelona; to another it might appear as a beer hall in Oslo. This cityscape, as Carlos Fuentes describes it, &quot;seems drawn up by the Marx Brothers with an assist from Bela Lugosi!&quot; It is the meeting place for a wild assortment of bohemians in a novel described by <em>The New York Times</em> as &quot;Deeply touching, enjoyable, beautifully written and fascinatingly mysterious.&quot; <em>Library Journal</em> has said <em>62: A Model Kit</em> is &quot;a highly satisfying work by one of the most extraordinary writers of our time.&quot;]]>

This cityscape is the meeting place for a wild assortment of bohemians.  <p>Description in Spanish: 62/Modelo para armar es el summum del trabajo cortazariano; un modelo literario en el cual &quot;la transgresión deja de ser tal&quot;, y en el que lector también deja de serlo para convertirse él mismo en una parte activa que va destejiendo imagen tras imagen, frase tras frase, con el fin de descubrir el hilo conductor del relato, y dar forma y figura a los personajes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Julio Cortazar's classic 1968 novel about an unnamed European &quot;city&quot; is a brilliant and intricate blueprint for life in the so-called &quot;City.&quot; As Juan, one of the main characters puts it: to one person the City might appear as Paris, to another it might be where one goes upon getting out of bed in Barcelona; to another it might appear as a beer hall in Oslo. This cityscape is the meeting place for a wild assortment of bohemians.  <p>Description in Spanish: 62/Modelo para armar es el summum del trabajo cortazariano; un modelo literario en el cual &quot;la transgresión deja de ser tal&quot;, y en el que lector también deja de serlo para convertirse él mismo en una parte activa que va destejiendo imagen tras imagen, frase tras frase, con el fin de descubrir el hilo conductor del relato, y dar forma y figura a los personajes.</p>]]>
