Translation is a recurrent theme in Julio Cortazar's fiction. In this paper, his short story "Letter to a Young Lady in Paris" is presented as a story about translation in which the protagonist, who comes to inhabit a space temporarily, "invades" that space subverting the original order. This representation is discussed in relation to prevailing notions about translation and translators.
