Probably not for me. Or I wasn't in the mood. A collection of stories, not strictly related to each other, some of which develop interesting ideas, but the rest is quite forgettable.

"Historias de cronopios y famas" es uno de esos libros que amas u odias. La manera de escribir de Cortázar es, a decir verdad, bastante extraña -escritor surrealista al fin y al cabo-.
El libro está conformado por varias decenas de cuentos divididos en dos partes. La primera son cuentos sueltos, y la segunda en la que habla de los cronopios, las famas, y las esperanzas.
Es un libro entretenido solo si no te cuestionas continuamente si Cortázar está usando simbolismos o simplemente perdió varios tornillos de la cabeza. :)
