Mas de Libro de Manuel

In my continuation of the Cortazar novel Libro de Manuel, the confusion has continued but with some plot developments (to my understanding). As far as I can deduce, there are three overlying themes in this revolutionary novel; (for those who aren't familiar with the novel please humor me). La Joda is meant to represent change inthe form of violent revolution. Andres sees progress coming via "culturalization", be it filosofia, el cine, libros, etc., and Lonstein sees change coming through a sexual revolution, confronting topics considered taboo. The role of "El que te dije" is not an omniscient narrarator, but a compiler inserting his own views and writing from his own perspective, hoping the truth lies somewhere therein.
