Blow-Up: And Other Stories, Paperback

A young girl spends her summer vacation in a country house where a tiger roams . . . A man reading a mystery finds out too late that he is the murderer's victim . . . In the fifteen stories collected here--including "Blow-Up," which was the basis for Michelangelo Antonioni's film of the same name--Julio Cortazar explores the boundary where the everyday meets the mysterious, perhaps even the terrible.
