The Winners Signed First Edition Reference

Los premios (Sudamericana, Buenos Aires, 1960; English: Pantheon, 1965, as The Winners, translated by Elaine Kerrigan) is Cortázar’s first published novel — lottery winners on a cruise ship discover that the stern is sealed off, and their attempts to reach it gradually reveal the social and psychological dynamics of the group. The novel combines Cortázar’s characteristic metaphysical curiosity with a more conventional narrative structure than his later work.
