Preview As Sad as Her: Short Stories v2 (GT)
This second volume of Juan Carlos Onetti's short novels brings together: As sad as her (1963), Death and the girl (1973), When then (1987), and When it no longer matters (1993).
The overwhelming As sad as her (1963) opens the maturity cycle of Juan Carlos Onetti's nouvelles , which runs through the forty years that have elapsed until his last book, When it no longer matters (1993), on horseback from Death and the Girl ( 1973) and When then (1987). It is in these pages that the great writer reaches his creative fullness and refines the obsessions that all his work distills. His characters wander like ships without direction or wake until they are lost in the vastness of a gloomy and overwhelming universe in which the smoke and empty bottles of a jaded Onetti peeks out who knew better than anyone else the persistent shipwreck of the world.
Reviews:
"His style makes the uncertain implausible and is sometimes close to a true linguistic prodigy."
JM Caballero Bonald
"The quintessential classic of contemporary Latin American letters." Augusto Roa Bastos
