Instructions to Climb a Stairs Julio Cortazar was a famous, awarded Argentinian writer (1914- 1984) who wrote many interesting books. Short stories were his speciality. Cortázar had lived in France from 1951 until his death and he had also adopted French nationality as protest due to politics disagreements in our country. One of his works entitled “Instructions to climb a Stairs” (1962) (Instrucciones para subir una escalera) caught my attention. I thought, who needed instructions to up a ladder?, what dark, hidden thing did he want to tell me?. The essay was really short, so I read it immediately. Certainly, the text gave explanations to up stairs, but I could not take away my sight from those directions until finished them. This writer was incredible. Of course, it is my opinion. Two simple pages can change the world, at least my world. Two brilliant pages and nothing more than that. This enriching experience taught me something about themes: Topics are not either good or bad. They are not either interesting or boring. Topics are not the problem. A good writer is the key.

Grace, if a good writer is the key, I think you are perhaps a key. I liked reading this.

Your English is good.

Other ways to say ' to climb stairs' in English. (It might be helpful?)

'To go upstairs'

'To ascend the stairs'

'to climb the staircase'.

Thank you for writing about an author, The way you described his story makes me want to find and read it. =)
