An anthology of author always creates joy and disappointment, because it assumes, and significant omissions annoying attachments. House taken and other tales by Julio Cortázar, is an anthology that will leave happy many, many others dissatisfied. While it contains the best stories of the Argentine, there are others that I like, missed. Funny how a reinterpretation of the author and several stories begin to seem verbose. Home made, although, it is crucial for all readers, this time seemed a little truncated, somewhat lacking. Instead, "secret weapons" and "another sky" were deeply interesting to me as much or more in previous readings. We can not forget or "The night face up" or "Continuity of Parks", which beyond any subjectivity, are the major findings of this author in his extensive treasure chest.
House taken and other tales, is, an anthology somewhat scattered, but settles well Cortázar intentions who never considered himself a writer. No one leaves happy with the anthologies: but it does happen, not 10, but it happens.
