it makes more since now, but more help would be appreciated. Jlionheart (talk) 11:02, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's beyond help. There are so many howlers in the description of the plot that it would be best to pull it all down and start over. 850 C (talk) 21:56, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per the discussion above, and the grave problems with this article dating back five years, I'm removing almost everything; even the statement that it was written in Paris is questionable, as some of it may have been written at Cortázar's home in the south of France. The plot summary was over-long and riddled with errors and unreferenced interpretive leaps; we should just start from scratch. The book is admittedly difficult to describe. 850 C (talk) 19:31, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that 62: A Model Kit is not an experiment; it is experimental, one of many full-bodied works (including Cortazar's previously published Hopscotch) that attempted to redefine the traditional novelistic forms of the time. In other words, it is a meticulously crafted book, not the kind of abortive literary exercise the word "experiment" commonly connotes. Jlionheart (talk) 09:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This claim was unsourced:

The book is a literary experiment that ranks among the most important novels written in Spanish in the 20th century.
