Rejecting rationality, space, and linear time, Julio Cortázar’s “Axolotl” is an ecocritical text that problematizes humancentric logic and refutes coloniality. Cortázar crafts uncertainty through ambiguity and constructs a shifting narrative for both the human (man) and non-human (axolotl) Latin American exiles in this posthumanistic short story that resolutely resists colonial ways of thinking and knowing.
