Who Julio Cortázar was
He was born in Brussels by diplomatic accident and settled in Paris in 1951, where he worked as a UNESCO translator for decades. He translated the complete works of Poe into Spanish.
"Hopscotch" (1963) offers two ways of reading it and hands the reader the responsibility of choosing; it was the book with which a whole generation learned to read differently. His short stories — "House Taken Over", "Continuity of Parks", "Blow-Up" — are the other half.
No documented birth time exists for this person. Without a time there are no houses, no Ascendant, no Midheaven, and the wheel is not oriented: what you see are the positions by sign, which are correct, and nothing else. An incomplete chart beats an invented Ascendant.
