Save Twilight
by Julio Cortazar
(City Lights Books, £12.99)
THE ARGENTINIAN writer Julio Cortazar is better known for his mastery of modern fiction and he's the author of some of the most influential Latin American novels of the last century such as Hopscotch and '62: A Model Kit, along with outstanding short stories.
Less known is his poetry and Save Twilight, fastidiously translated by Stephen Kessler, is his first collection in English.
