Abstract
Argentine Julio Cortazar is a world-known writer, one of the main makers of “boom” of Latin American literature, author of cult novels and short stories. Sergey Markov, journalist, scenarist and writer, was a unique Soviet Russian literary man who had the luck to meet and talk to Julio Cortazar in Havana, the city which the greatest writer liked very much, though many decades lived in Paris. During the talks, the secrets of literary skill were touched upon and partly revealed; besides, different problems, including ideological, social and political about dictatorship, freedom of creative work, world disintegration, relations between artists and the “powers that be” were brought up “at a sharp angle”. All these matters were burning those days, 30 years ago, but have not lost their topicality up to the present. Havana talks and ingenuous live impressions and thoughts of Sergey Markov, author of many sketches, film scripts and books, including “Gabriel Garcia Marquez” (book series “Life of outstanding people”), became the basis of the published essay. His book about Julio Cortazar is getting ready for publishing.
