Octaedro (Octahedron) is a 1974 short story collection by Julio Cortázar. Its name comes from the octahedron, a 3D geometric solid with eight identical faces, reflecting the eight stories that comprise it. It builds on the social and political themes of his earlier Libro de Manuel (1973), relating them to other more universal themes.
All the stories were translated in English by Gregory Rabassa and published as part of the collection A Change of Light and Other Stories in 1980.[1]
