| Summary: | This article looks at not only the purposefully political texts by Julio Cortázar, both fictional and essayistic, but also collects letters and other documents, to expose his political activism for Latin American socialism. Also, this essay historically situates Cortázar’s positions of solidarity, even in difficult times, with both the Cuban Revolution and the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua. Finally, this text develops Cortázar’s aesthetic and ethical thinking against the conflicting relationship between literary creation and political activism. |
