"Cortázar sin barba". Editorial Debate.

Known as one of the founders of the [[Latin American Boom]], Cortázar influenced an entire generation of Spanish-speaking readers and writers in the Americas and Europe. ==Early life== Julio Cortázar was born on August 26, 1914, in [[Ixelles]],<ref name="ReferenceA">Cortázar sin barba, by [[Eduardo Montes-Bradley]]. Random House Mondadori, Editorial Debate, Madrid, 2004</ref> a municipality of [[Brussels]], [[Belgium]]. According to biographer Miguel Herráez, his parents, Julio José Cortázar and María Herminia Descotte, were Argentine citizens, and his father was attached to the Argentine diplomatic service in Belgium.<ref>Herráez, Miguel. ''Julio Cortázar, Una Biografía Revisada'' Alrevés, 2011 {{ISBN|9788415098034}} p. 25</ref> At the time of Cortázar's birth Belgium was occupied by the German troops of [[Kaiser]] [[Wilhelm II, German Emperor|Wilhelm II]]. After German troops arrived in Belgium, Cortázar and his family moved to [[Zürich]] where María Herminia's parents, Victoria Gabel and Louis Descotte (a French National), were waiting in neutral territory. The family group spent the next two years in Switzerland, first in [[Zürich]], then [[Geneva]], before moving for a short period to [[Barcelona]]. The Cortázars settled outside of [[Buenos Aires]] by the end of 1919.<ref>Montes-Bradley, Eduardo. "Cortázar sin barba". Editorial Debate. Random House Mondadori, p. 110, Madrid, 2005.</ref> Cortázar's father left when Julio was six, and the family had no further contact with him.<ref>Herráez, Miguel. ''Julio Cortázar, Una Biografía Revisada'' Alrevés, 2011, {{ISBN|9788415098034}}, pp. 38 & 45,</ref> Cortázar spent most of his childhood in [[Banfield (village)|Banfield]], a suburb south of Buenos Aires, with his mother and younger sister. The home in Banfield, with its back yard, was a source of inspiration for some of his stories.<ref>Banfield is mentioned in the short story [http://www.literatura.org/Cortázar/Conducta.html "Conducta en los velorios"] from ''[[Historias de cronopios y de famas]]''.</ref> Despite this, in a letter to Graciela M. de Solá on December 4, 1963, he described this period of his life as "full of servitude, excessive touchiness, terrible and frequent sadness." He was a sickly child and spent much of his childhood in bed reading. His mother, who spoke several languages and was a great reader herself, introduced her son to the works of [[Jules Verne]], whom Cortázar admired for the rest of his life. In the magazine ''Plural'' (issue 44, Mexico City, May 1975) he wrote: "I spent my childhood in a haze full of goblins and elves, with a sense of space and time that was different from everybody else's." ==Education and teaching career== [[File:JulioCortazar001.JPG|right|thumb|150px|Cortázar in his youth]] Cortázar obtained a qualification as an elementary school teacher at the age of 18. He would later pursue higher education in philosophy and languages at the [[University of Buenos Aires]], but left for financial reasons without receiving a degree.<ref>Herráez, Miguel. ''Julio Cortázar, Una Biografía Revisada.'' Alrevés, 2011, {{ISBN|9788415098034}}, p. 343.</ref> According to biographer [[Eduardo Montes-Bradley|Montes-Bradley]], Cortázar taught in at least two high schools in Buenos Aires Province, one in the city of [[Chivilcoy Partido|Chivilcoy]], the other in [[Bolivar, Buenos Aires Province|Bolivar]]. In 1938, using the pseudonym of Julio Denis, he self-published a volume of [[sonnet]]s, ''Presencia,''<ref>{{YouTube|WSJoWdZZ5m8|Conversaciones con Cortázar}} Omar Prego, Muchnik Editores, 1985 (p. 33).</ref> which he later repudiated, saying in a 1977 interview for Spanish television that publishing it was his only transgression to the principle of not publishing any books until he was convinced that what was written in them was what he meant to say.<ref>{{YouTube|JeaaxOrC8nw|Julio Cortázar - A fondo}} TVE 1977.</ref> In 1944 he became professor of [[French literature]] at the [[National University of Cuyo]] in [[Mendoza, Argentina|Mendoza]], but he resigned the position in June 1946 due to political pressure from Peronists. He subsequently worked as a translator and as director of the Cámara Argentina del Libro, a trade organization.<ref>Herráez, Miguel. ''Julio Cortázar, Una Biografía Revisada.'' Alrevés, 2011, {{ISBN|9788415098034}}, pp. 118-119.</ref> In 1949 he published a play, ''Los Reyes'' (''The Kings''), based on the [[myth]] of [[Theseus]] and the [[Minotaur]]. In 1980, Cortázar delivered eight lectures at the [[University of California, Berkeley]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/03/the-subtle-radicalism-of-julio-cortazars-berkeley-lectures/520812/|title=The Subtle Radicalism of Julio Cortázar's Berkeley Lectures|last=Illingworth|first=Dustin|work=The Atlantic|access-date=2017-03-29|language=en-US}}</ref> ==Years in France== In 1951, Cortázar emigrated to France, where he lived and worked for the rest of his life, though he traveled widely. From 1952 onwards, he worked intermittently for [[UNESCO]] as a [[translation|translator]]. He wrote most of his major works in Paris or in [[Saignon]] in the south of France, where he also maintained a home. In later years he became actively engaged in opposing abuses of [[human rights]] in Latin America, and was a supporter of the [[Sandinista]] revolution in [[Nicaragua]] as well as [[Fidel Castro]]'s [[Cuba]]n revolution and [[Salvador Allende]]'s socialist government in [[Chile]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/cortaz.htm |title=Julio Cortázar |website=Books and Writers ''(kirjasto.sci.fi)'' |first=Petri |last=Liukkonen |publisher=[[Kuusankoski]] Public Library |location=Finland |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090428033001/http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/cortaz.htm |archivedate=28 April 2009 |dead-url=yes |df= }}</ref> Cortázar had three long-term romantic relationships with women.

He later married the American writer [[Carol Dunlop]]. After Dunlop's death in 1982, Aurora Bernárdez accompanied Cortázar during his final illness and, in accordance with his longstanding wishes, inherited the rights to all his works.<ref>[http://www.elmundo.es/america/2012/07/15/argentina/1342361857.html «Las cartas de Cortázar»], article in the newspaper ''El Mundo'' (Madrid), 15 July 2012.</ref><ref>Julio Cortázar.

In 1967, English translations by [[Paul Blackburn (U.S. poet)|Paul Blackburn]] of stories selected from these volumes were published by [[Pantheon Books]] as ''End of the Game and Other Stories''. Cortázar published four novels during his lifetime: ''[[Los premios]]'' (''The Winners'', 1960), ''[[Hopscotch (Julio Cortázar novel)|Hopscotch]]'' (''Rayuela'', 1963), ''[[62: A Model Kit]]'' (''62 Modelo para Armar'', 1968), and ''[[Libro de Manuel]]'' (''A Manual for Manuel'', 1973). Except for ''[[Los premios]]'', which was translated by Elaine Kerrigan, these novels have been translated into English by [[Gregory Rabassa]]. Two other novels, ''El examen'' and ''Divertimiento,'' though written before 1960, only appeared posthumously. The open-ended structure of ''Hopscotch'', which invites the reader to choose between a linear and a non-linear mode of reading, has been praised by other [[Latin American]] writers, including [[José Lezama Lima]], [[Giannina Braschi]], [[Carlos Fuentes]], [[Gabriel García Márquez]], and [[Mario Vargas Llosa]].{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} Cortázar's use of interior monologue and [[Stream of consciousness writing|stream of consciousness]] owes much to [[James Joyce]]<ref>[http://sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe/bibvirtual/publicaciones/alma_mater/2000_n18-19/julio_cortazar.htm Julio Cortázar y James Joyce]</ref> and other modernists,{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} but his main influences were [[Surrealism]],<ref>Picón Garfield, Evelyn.

In the 1960s, working with the artist José Silva, he created two almanac-books or ''libros-almanaque,'' ''La vuelta al día en ochenta mundos'' and ''Último Round,'' which combined various texts written by Cortázar with a photographs, engravings, and other illustrations, in the manner of the ''almanaques del mensajero'' that had been widely circulated in rural Argentina during his childhood.<ref>Herráez, Miguel.
