"Querido Pablito" / "Julissimo Querido,"
Work detail
"The transatlantic friendship of New York based poet and translator Paul Blackburn and Paris based novelist, translator, and Argentinian exile Julio Cortázar explores a crucial chapter in the exchange of literary and political culture. While mainly pre-occupied with more mundane and technical matters--about publication, translation, contractual agreements, and the transfer of money--these letters are set against the background of the assassination of JFK, Cortázar's deep involvement with Cuba, and the evolving US war in Vietnam. Dedicated to the late Gregory Rabassa (1922-2016), translator extraordinaire and Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the time of his retirement from Queens College, "Querido Pablito" / "Julissimo querido," pays homage to a deep friendship whose influence can still be felt today." -- Publisher's website.
