For those who don't have a clue. Please let me introduce you to this, my Rayuela, my world...

Rayuela is my favorite book written by Julio Cortázar, an Argentinean, born Belgian who living in Paris finished writing one of the masterpieces of Latin American literature: Rayuela.
Rayuela is a game I reckon everyone in the world have played at least once, different names maybe (avioncito, tejo, hopscotch, marelles, etc...) but the same thing. As Cortazar may say, all is the same, opposites reunite, there are no indeed, we are the same animal, just different cages.
Another question I guess... Why Rayuela? What is the reason I call my blog like this and Rayuela is the name of such a book?
Well, Rayuela is a game where you are trying to reach the "Heaven", the "end", the number 10, you have to make some tricks, pass some obstacles, maybe sometimes will be hard and you have to try again before being able to succeed to the next stage... All of that, and also the fact that is like a kids' game too serious but at the same time not to be taken so seriously, it's the answer.
Like he proposed in his book, we have to try with language to fight it, we have to try with society fight society, try to reinvent the world, why to attach ourselves to rules that they don't bring us any good really? Why to follow something we are not sure of...?
Of course, as long as you don't hurt anyone in the way... he he! Don't think of me as a total anarchist he he.
Last thing before closing the first entry!
Maga... she is one of the main roles in Rayuela. Paraphrasing him thru the eyes of Horacio Oliveira, her lover... "She used to swim in the rivers I was just able to start understanding, to start seeing, to realize there were there, she was like the seagull who doesn't know she is flying but flies and enjoy, like the fish who doesn't know it is swimming but dances in the water graceful and joyfully".
Do you like Rayuela? Hope you do...
and if you haven't heard before, Welcome....
