Inspired by my favourite writer Julio Cortazar and his novel Hopscotch, which is my favourite novel of all time.
A couple of writers have told me to read this book. Haven’t read it yet, but now seeing that it’s your favorite book, it’s now going on my to-read list! And I loved playing hopscotch as a kid and still write poems about it! 🙂
“marked out / on the / stars” stood out for me and is open to many different interpretations. Enjoyed your poetic series/fragments!
Thank you for the comment.
I like to think everyone loves hopscotch. And it is a great book. Its worth giving it a read. Cortazar is an exceptional writer.
