His work broke classic molds through narrations far removed from temporal linearity, and its contents move on the border between the real and the fantastic. His work is cataloged between magical realism and some place it in the line of surrealism.




He lived most of his life in Argentina and then in Europe, where he lived in countries such as Italy, Spain, Switzerland and France, where he settled in 1951 and where he set some of his works. Cortazar rejected the Argentine nationality in 1981 in protest with the government of that country. He died on February 12, 1984 in Paris, France, because of leukemia.
