About All Fires the Fire by Julio Cortázar
In this short-story collection, scenes and points of view shift in ways that unsettle a reader’s sense of time and perspective. The collection description pairs an island seen from an airplane with an airplane seen from an island, and places the threat of fire in both an ancient Roman arena and a modern city apartment.
Mortality and deception also run through its descriptions of the living and the dying. Published in a 2005 Marion Boyars edition, All Fires the Fire is suited to readers of twentieth-century Latin American and Spanish literature, short fiction, and work associated with magical realism.
