'A deeply touching, enjoyable novel, beautifully written and fascinatingly mysterious and intricate in its designs' New York Times
In a city that could be Paris, London or Vienna, a loose-knit group of travellers, artists, and dreamers gather - drawn together by a cryptic passage from a book. Among them are the exiled writer Juan, the elusive Hélène, and the troubled Celia, each slipping between reality and illusion as their lives intertwine. Conversations turn into riddles, encounters take on the weight of fate, and a dark undercurrent of violence pulses beneath it all.
Both playful and disorienting, 62: A Model Kit is Julio Cortázar's most enigmatic puzzle - an intricate, hypnotic novel that challenges the very nature of storytelling.
