The novel is fragmentary, it is as a lot of latinamerican authors an attempt to break what we usually think of as a novel. In the same way impressionists and surrealists redefine painting, new novelists redefine writing. Julio Cortazar writes almost as in a fragmentary recall of life. He is talking about everything, its meaning, philosophy all at once. It is almost fever a attempt to describe all of life, when it seems impossible. Just walking in his head
