62: A Model Kit Signed First Edition Reference

62/Modelo para armar (Sudamericana, 1968; English: Pantheon, 1972, as 62: A Model Kit, translated by Gregory Rabassa) grows from Chapter 62 of Hopscotch, where Morelli proposes a novel whose characters would be inhabited by forces beyond their comprehension. The result is Cortázar’s most experimental novel — a narrative that resists conventional reading, with characters who blur into each other and events that may or may not be happening.
