Prior to commencing writing it, a teaching assistant read the story and said (I am paraphrasing here): “The story is open-ended you could choose to show what it is that throws them out of the house and what happens when they leave it.” When writing a screenplay for an A2 Film Studies assignment, I chose to make an adaptation of Julio Cortázar’s short story House Taken Over. I have not proof-read it, nor has a lecturer made modifications to it, so it is a bit rough on the edges. This essay, I must stress, was written purely for entertainment value and was not submitted for any academic course. I make mention of another story called 'Letter to a Young Lady in Paris', but I could not find the text on the internet. ![]() If you think you can have a stab at reading it in Spanish, or if you are bilingual, click here. ![]() To read 'House Taken Over' in English click here. Most of it was written, sporadically, over the last few hours, although I had started it a couple of weeks ago. ![]()
