Overview

“Continuity of Parks” is a short story by Argentine author Julio Cortázar. First published in 1964, the story is a prime example of Cortázar’s signature style, which blends elements of realism and the fantastic to create a sense of disorientation and unease. In “Continuity of Parks,” a man becomes engrossed in a novel about a secret affair, unaware that he himself is a character in the story. As he delves deeper into the narrative, the lines between reader and protagonist blur, leading to a shocking twist that challenges the conventions of storytelling.
