Pablo Neruda

I greedily devour all the fabrications, myths, contradictions, and mortal games of the great Cortzar. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


William Goyen

[Cortzar] creates a language and a rhythm and sensuality as mysterious and terrible as Melville's but all in his own voice.... The Winners is a novel of ideas that challenges and disturbs the reader and enlarges one's sense of the intricate single human being. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Discreet Charm of The Lottery Winners, Fév 3 2002
Par Doug Anderson (Miami Beach, Florida United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Winners (Paperback)
I read and enjoy Cortazar in the same way I enjoy Luis Bunuel films, in fact I think Bunuel could have made a wonderful film of THE WINNERS. Like Bunuel, Cortazar finds the things we accept as normal to be quite absurd but also like Bunuel he has a certain affection for those he makes fun of. All those on board the Malcolm are guilty of some sort of petty prejudice or limited world view but they all mingle and tolerate one another to a point. When things go absurdly wrong the lottery winners begin to wonder what it is they've actually won. Cortazar is an existential comic. A book which succeeds because it never forgets that despite our differences we are all bound together by our not knowing exactly what is going. With a little help from Cortazar we can see that knowing is just a pretense.
Perhaps the novel like Camus Plague is a parable with many possible levels of meaning. Not the least of which is the political level. After all Cortazar left Argentina under Peron to live and write in exile.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Mindful, Déc 14 2001
Par Lisa Pozzi "Mama, Wife, Biz Owner" (Carlsbad, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: The Winners (Paperback)
I enjoyed "The Winners" though at times I found it a bit "heady". Its a novel that requires you keeping track as you go along. It took me while to figure out the setting, and what was happening (which means Cortazar did his job). There's so much symbolism and historical significance in his writing. I highly recommend the short stories collection "Blow Up" if you liked "The Winners."

5.0étoiles sur 5 Ducks and Eagles, Sep 22 1999
Par Un client
This review is from: The Winners (Paperback)
Cortazar places his characters in categories I've found people all fit--one or the other--like it or not--we are each either a duck or an eagle. Ducks follow of course and eagles set new paths. Ducks may have easier less lonely lives. Unless of course they inherit wealth and power--in which case they must be very confused and inflict chaos on the less entitled. Eagles succeed in endeavors against all odds and are therefore resented by those they seek to please. None of us has an easy time co-existing with others. No one wants to admit this of course! This book encourages reflection that may have social value, but it doesn't offer much in the way of a hopeful outcome for the social redemption of mankind--at least not in this generation. Therein lies its depth. We must expect less from our companions in life. We're all horrifyingly flawed. Somehow we must find the path to honesty and forgiveness. The book--?--I couldn't put it down. Now I can't get it out of my mind. If you want to live in denial don't read it.
