Julio Cortázar's Hopscotch is an experimental novel that challenges traditional narrative structure, offering readers multiple ways to experience the story. Following Horacio Oliveira's philosophical and romantic wanderings through Paris and Buenos Aires, Cortázar creates a playful, intellectually ambitious work that explores consciousness, love, and the nature of storytelling itself. The novel can be read linearly or by following an alternative chapter sequence, making each reading a unique experience.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Cortázar proved that how you tell a story can be as important as the story itself.
