And now for something completely different...

[Mark Kohut]

Well, we now know Pynchon translated at least one of Cortazar's stories (in Blow-Up and other stories and we should believe he was reading Marquez and we know Borges, etc.

I recently read in some literary biography--Heller/bellow ? --about how the whole international
Literary community was unanimously excited about 100 Years of Solitude in the late sixties as everyone worked to get it translated and known and read. Worked.

The so-called collective conscious would never be the same again; minds were being blown open and testing the ramparts of the old regime.

Notice how many people get turned onto Borges at the same time: it was as essential for Barths as a writer as it was for Foucault as a thinker. Now what about Cortazar and Pynchon? Where do they fit in all this?
