Autor Carol Dunlop, Julio Cortazar Traducere de Anne McLeanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2007
“Anyone who doesn't read Cortázar is doomed.”—Pablo Neruda
Autonauts of the Cosmoroute is a love story, an irreverent travelogue of elaborate tales and snapshots detailing Julio Cortázar and Carol Dunlop’s thirty-three-day voyage on the Paris-Marseilles freeway in 1982. Uncovering the freeway’s hidden underbelly, they push life and literature to surreal extremes. This shot of sun is a satire on modern travel and the great explorers, and an intimate look at one of the greatest literary spirits of our time.
Julio Cortázar (1914–1984) was a true giant of twentieth-century Latin American literature. He met and married Carol Dunlop in France in 1982.
Anne McLean has translated the work of Carmen Martín Gaite, Javier Cercas, Ignacio Padilla, Orlando Gonzáles Esteva, and Luis Sepúlveda, as well as other works of Julio Cortázar.

Notă biografică
One of the true giants of twentieth century Latin American literature. Innovative, irreverent, and haunting, Cortazar's writing pushes at the boundaries of expression. In the 1970s he became a tireless defender of Latin American self-determination and many of his books were banned in Argentina. He died in Paris in 1984. Anne McLean currently lives in England where she has translated the work of Carmen Martín Gaite, Orlando González Esteva, and Ignacio Padilla. Her translation of Javier Cercas' Soldiers of Salamis won the 2004 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and the Premio Valle Inclán. Carol Dunlop was a French-speaking Canadian writer. Dunlop and Cortazar met and wed in 1979. Dunlop died in 1982 in Paris.
