I really do not know what to think of this book. I can't decide if it's a brilliant dismantling of pseudo-intellectual bullshit or if it just buys into it, or if it is some weird wishy washy mishmash of both viewpoints. All this means is that I will be returning to this book much faster than some other books that I enjoyed reading more.

Apenas él le amalaba el noema, a ella se le agolpaba el clémiso y caían en hidromurias, en salvajes ambonios, en sustalos exasperantes. Cada vez que él procuraba relamar las incopelusas, se enredaba en un grimado quejumbroso y tenía que envulsionarse de cara al nóvalo, sintiendo cómo poco a poco las arnillas se espejunaban, se iban apeltronando, reduplimiendo, hasta quedar tendido como el trimalciato de ergomanina al que se le han dejado caer unas fílulas de cariaconcia. Y sin embargo era apenas el principio, porque en un momento dado ella se tordulaba los hurgalios, consintiendo en que él aproximara suavemente su orfelunios. Apenas se entreplumaban, algo como un ulucordio los encrestoriaba, los extrayuxtaba y paramovía, de pronto era el clinón, las esterfurosa convulcante de las mátricas, la jadehollante embocapluvia del orgumio, los esproemios del merpasmo en una sobrehumítica agopausa. ¡Evohé! ¡Evohé! Volposados en la cresta del murelio, se sentía balparamar, perlinos y márulos. Temblaba el troc, se vencían las marioplumas, y todo se resolviraba en un profundo pínice, en niolamas de argutendidas gasas, en carinias casi crueles que los ordopenaban hasta el límite de las gunfias.
Julio Cortázar, Rayuela, capítulo 68

Pretentious, confusing and boring. No wonder you can read this book in multiple ways since there seems to be no cohesion. I couldn’t force myself to finish it.

Το διάβασμα αυτού του βιβλίου είναι εμπειρία. Μια απολαυστική εμπειρία. Ιδίως παίζοντας κουτσό με τα κεφάλαια.
