Synopsis "Quién de Nosotros (in Spanish)"

La primera novela de Mario Benedetti. La aparición de Quién de nosotros fue celebrada por la crítica uruguaya, que calificó la obra como «el libro más prometedor que nuestra literatura de ficción haya producido en estos años», y desde entonces ha sido reeditada continuamente. La historia de un triángulo amoroso, como el que forman Miguel, Alicia y Lucas, es utilizada por el autor para ofrecernos una imprevisible e irónica exploración de la soledad humana, con un final abierto que se resumirá en la última frase del libro: «¿Quién de nosotros juzga a quién?» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Celebrated by critics as the most promising work in Uruguayan fiction at the time, Mario Benedetti's first novel has never been out of print, being constantly reedited since it was first published. Using a love triangle formed by Miguel, Alicia and Lucas, the author presents an ironic and unpredictable vision of human solitude. Summarized through the last phrase in the novel "Which one of us can throw the first stone?," the open ending invites us to reflect on our human nature.

Mario Benedetti was born in Paso de los Toros, Uruguay in 1920. He was educated at a German school and made a living as a stenographer, cashier, salesperson, accountant, public servant, translator, and journalist, a profession he practiced for four decades at the weekly Marcha, until it was shut down by the dictatorship. That same dictatorship forced him into exile in 1973, after which he lived successively in Argentina, Peru, Cuba, and Spain. A storyteller, poet, essayist, and playwright, he authored more than seventy books translated into eighteen languages. Among his literary works, the poetic anthologies Inventario and Inventario Dos, the novels La tregua, Gracias por el fuego, Primavera con una esquina rota, the short story collections Montevideanos, La muerte y otras sorpresas, Con y sin nostalgia, and the verse novel El cumpleaños de Juan Ángel stand out.
