...Cortazar. He once cast Theseus as a dullwitted, conventional, sword-swinging Victor Mature hero pitted against the Minotaur-seen as a poet-victim being set upon for his incendiary ideas. In a chapter of Cronopios and Famas, he offers Hamlet as a man obsessed with finding a five-leaf clover-a quest worthy of his proud and exceptional nature...
