living invention

This is not a thesis. Not a commentary. Not a biography.

It’s a meditative walk across the pages of the late Argentine author Julio Cortázar, in search of invention, joy, and what it means to read as if it matters.

I wrote it nearly thirty years ago, in a time of personal and professional rupture and transformation, and I’ve left it as it was left then: a nonlinear book written in conversation with the breeze of Cortázar’s invention, the experiences of my daily life, and the broader world as it was at that time.

Start anywhere. Stop anywhere.

Please let enjoyment be your guide.
