FILE - A security guard stands near a large photo of late writer Julio Cortazar at an exhibit marking the 100-year anniversary of his birth at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug. 26, 2014. A bundle of 60-year-old pages of Cortazars writings was sold at auction on Thursday, October 12, 2023, by the Zorrilla de Montevideo auction house.
Of the total stories, 35 were published in “Cronopios and Famas.” Some were printed exactly as found in the manuscript that was once thought to be lost forever. It was discovered in Montevideo last year, while others underwent editorial changes. Three other stories were published in magazines before Cortázar's death in 1984.
The 60 yellowed sheets had a starting bid of $12,000 and were being auctioned by Zorrilla, an auction house in Montevideo, in partnership with the Buenos Aires art antique dealer Hilario.
