Octaedro (Octahedron) is a 1974short story collection byJulio Cortázar. Its name comes from theoctahedron, a 3D geometric solid with eight identical faces, reflecting the eight stories that comprise it. It builds on the social and political themes of his earlierLibro de Manuel (1973), relating them to other more universal themes.
All the stories were translated in English byGregory Rabassa and published as part of the collectionA Change of Light and Other Stories in 1980.[1]
Octaedro was published while Julio Cortázar was taking part in theRussell Court II in Rome (1974–1976) to examine the political situation and the violations of human rights in Latin America.[2]
