Un mois sur l’autoroute Paris-Marseille, ou comment réenchanter le monde

This article focuses on the performance of the couple formed by Julio Cortázar and Carol Dunlop, who lived for a month on a French motorway, as well as the book which came out of this experience, Los autonautas de la cosmopista ("The Autonauts of the Cosmoroute") (1983). The book plays with the codes of travel literature using parody and fictionalization and is a hybrid, polyphonic, subjective, and political text. Diversifying the mediums and giving free rein to the imagination, it creates a constant dialogue between various types of statements that both contradict and complement each other.
