End of the Game
Julio Cortázar
1967
Introduction
End of the Game
is a short story by Argentinean author Julio Cortázar. It was first published in Spanish in 1956 in Corázar's third collection of short stories, Final Del Juego. It is available in English translation in a collection of Cortázar's work titled Blow-Up and Other Stories, published in 1967. Although Cortázar is well known for works with a fantastic element, End of the Game
instead involves ordinary people in ordinary situations. However, Cortázar allows a fantasy element into the story, as he portrays the game of a group of three adolescent girls—the Narrator, Holanda, and Letitia—who play in an imaginary kingdom by the railroad tracks near their house. In their kingdom, they create and wear elaborate costumes and pose for train riders. One rider, a young man named Ariel, begins dropping notes to the girls and they are enchanted by him. The story counterposes Ariel's view of the girls and the girls' perception of him. The two realities ultimately collide—and the game abruptly ends.
