Ornithology of Angels

Ornithology of Angels

Julio the Porteño and Jimmy the New Yorker take their time with the angelic. Julio is the King of the Cronopios, James the Patron Saint of Harlem; Cortázar is the aesthete of meta-games and Baldwin the author of emotive, sociopolitical autobiographies. One white and Latinoamericano, the other a black norteño. Both writing about a black bird.

Rolando André López Torres reflects on the sublime and despair in stories by James Baldwin and Julio Cortázar.
