The Stab / The Tango of Returning

Julio Cortázar

Enrique Vila-Mata (Epilogue)

“On the fifth day he saw him following Flora who was going to the store…
and everything became future, like the unread pages in that novel left face down in
a sofa, something already written and which one didn’t even have to read because it was already fulfilled before reading..."














Pat Andrea arrived in Buenos Aires in the aftermath of general Videla’s coup. Shocked by the atmosphere of violence, he worked on a series of drawings whose obsessive subject was the stab,
an image taken from the tango with that title. Once in Europe, he contacted Julio Cortázar, who, fascinated with the images, decided to offer him a short story: The Tango of Returning.
