"One of the most adventurous and rewarding collections since the publication of Cortazar's own Blow-up." - Los Angeles Times

A traffic jam outside Paris lasts for weeks. Che Guevara and Fidel Castro meet on a mountaintop during the Cuban Revolution. A flight attendant becomes obsessed with a small Greek island, resulting in a surreal encounter with death. In All Fires the Fire, Julio Cortazar (author of Hopscotch and the short story "Blow-Up" ) creates his own mindscapes beyond space and time, where lives intersect for brief moments and situations break and refract. All Fires the Fire contains some of Julio Cortazar's most beloved stories. It is a classic collection by "one of the world's great writers" (Washington Post).
