Praise for Blow-Up and Other Stories : "[Cortazar] is a unique storyteller. He can induce the kind of chilling unease that strikes like a sound in the night." - Time "Julio Cortazar is a stunning writer. It is difficult to imagine how he could improve as a writer of short stories." - The Christian Science Monitor "A glittering showcase for a daring talent . . . Julio Cortazar is a dazzler." -William Hogan, San Francisco Chronicle "A first-class literary imagination at work." - The New York Times Book Review, Praise for Blow-Up and Other Stories: "[Cortazar] is a unique storyteller.
