An Argentine intellectual drifts through Paris jazz cellars and a doomed love, then home to Buenos Aires; the book offers two orders to read its chapters, and each gives a different life.

Only in dreams, in poetry, in play do we sometimes arrive at what we were before we were this thing that, who knows, we are.
Hopscotch, Julio Cortázar
