Cortázar's "Hopscotch"

Julio Cortázar's "Hopscotch" is an innovative novel that invites readers to choose their own reading path. Structured as a series of interconnected chapters, some can be read sequentially, while others can be skipped or explored in a non-linear order, mimicking a game of hopscotch. The story follows Argentine writer Horacio Oliveira’s life and relationships, blending realistic detail with surreal and experimental elements. This flexible approach challenges traditional storytelling, encouraging active reader participation and multiple interpretations, making "Hopscotch" a landmark work in literary modernism and the Latin American "Boom" movement.
