All Fires the Fire by Suzanne Levine
Todos los fuegos el fuego offers eight great examples of the creative fullness that encompasses Cortazar's stories. From the exasperated metaphor of human relationships that is La autopista del sur through the masterpiece that is El otro cielo, Cortazar once again paves the way to stories that are a must-read for lovers of the story genre in general. La salud de los enfermos, Reunisn, La seqorita Cora, La isla a mediodma, Instrucciones para John Howell, and Todos los fuegos el fuego are a celebration of intelligence, passion, and genius.

Julio Cortázar (1914-1984), Argentine novelist, poet, essayist, and short-story writer, was born in Brussels, and moved permanently to France in 1951. Cortazar is now recognized as one of the century's major experimental writers, reflecting the influence of French surrealism, psychoanalysis, and his love of both photography and jazz, along with his strong commitment to revolutionary Latin American politics. Suzanne Jill Levine is a leading translator of Latin American literature, and professor at the University of California in Santa Barbara where she directs a Translation Studies doctoral program.
