Thoughts on Cortazar's Hopscotch?

Pretty good, but his short stories are miles better

I find Cortázar to be a pretentious overrated hack. I like some of his short stories, though. I don't see any genius in them.

This.
Último Round is a good experiment, anyways.

i poor, where read??!!!
>>
Read it recently.

I wasn't terribly impressed. I dunno. The structure was interesting, but the characterizations were vague, as was the message. Way too many chapters where characters just sat around and thought and/or drank wine.

>pretentious
>hack

clichéd words used by plebs with a limited vocabulary to criticize the work of their betters
>>

Honestly couldn't make it thru three chapters of Hopscotch. Why do people value him again?
>>
>>7471461
IDK he's probably one of the most groundbreaking writers of his time in the Spanish language. His influence still lives on and can be seen in writers like Bolaño or Marias.
I think he was definetly a genius when it came to short stories, but hey that's just like my opinion
>>
Im enjoying it so far and would agree its memeable
