Abstract

The symbolic aspect of openness or access that Cortázar grants to jazz music, is shown, in a literary way, and for the first time together with fiction, in El perseguidor. And the same goes for the link between jazz and Paris. In this sense, Cortázar's first osmosis with the French capital will determine the existential turn that will make the writer move the center of his literature to the ontological terrain and integrate in his writing the idea of ​​the city and jazz music as passages to the stratum of a timeless suprareal reality, only apprehendable in fleeting access.
