More discreet but more profound and permanent, because it stirred up the very nature of fiction, that inseparable core of form-content, means-end, art-technique that it becomes in the most accomplished creators. In his stories, Cortázar did not experiment: he found, discovered, created something imperishable.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMario Vargas Llosa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"And I, well, I don't know what I understood, I'm telling you in case, you never know, the truth is I don't know why I'm telling you, maybe because I'm old and I talk too much.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1983, \u003ci\u003eDeshoras\u003c\/i\u003e was Julio Cortázar's last book of short stories.
