Story by Julio Cortázar




Julio logic beats Aristotelian logic any day! Julio says he first saw the Cronopios when sitting in the balcony of a concert hall, waiting for the orchestra to come on stage. Turns out that Cronopio performance was the virtuoso selection of the evening, propelling Julio to see an entire cosmos filled with Cronopios and write an entire book teeming with Cronopios.

The below story expresses the logic of that famous conundrum from Abbot and Costello: One banana (holding a banana in the left hand) + two banana (holding another banana in the right hand) = three banana

STORY
A small Cronopio was looking for the key to the street door on the night table, the night table in the bedroom, the bedroom in the house, the house in the street. Here the Cronopio paused,for to go into the street, he needed the key to the door.
