Los autonautas de la cosmopista. O Un viaje atemporal Paris-Marsella – Julio Cortázar and Carol Dunlop

The idea of the book by itself it is interesting, to take a trip from Paris to Marsella only stopping on the highway stops. Together, the couple decided the rules for the trip, as if they determined the rules for a game, and they prepared to the action. I think the first chapters, the prior to the expedition, are the best. Maybe, due to my enthusiasm for challenges, for previous planning and by my passion for awkward travels.

Another point interesting of Los autonautas de la cosmopista is that two people wrote it. Cortazar and his partner, the photographer Carol Dunlop, wrote together. Sometimes, while reading, we don’t know who is writing, we can only realize that when one of them refers to the other as Lobo (wolf) or Osita (Litle bear).

The book is an excellent travel report, it is a statement on the search for poetry, for enjoying life even on the worst places...

This book by Borges with photos by his partner María Kodama is a quilt of places, travels, experiences and impressions. The Brazilian edition is beautiful, hard cover, colored pages, well designed. By reading these short stories, we travel to Alexandria, Venice, Athens, Reikjavik, Genev, Istanbul… We travel in the imagination of this places created or experienced and, at the same time, we get an intimacy with the author by seeing his photos as in a family album. It is an atlas of personal souvenirs of moments out of the routine, glimpses of his “errant” life.
