Synopsis "Tan triste como ella. Novelas breves 2 (in Spanish)"

Este segundo volumen de las novelas cortas de Juan Carlos Onetti reúne: Tan triste como ella (1963), La muerte y la niña (1973), Cuando entonces (1987), y Cuando ya no importe (1993). La sobrecogedora Tan triste como ella (1963) abre el ciclo de madurez de las nouvelles de Juan Carlos Onetti, que recorre los cuarenta años transcurridos hasta su último libro, Cuando ya no importe (1993), a caballo de La muerte y la niña (1973) y Cuando entonces (1987). Es en estas páginas que el genial escritor alcanza su plenitud creativa y afina las obsesiones que destila toda su obra. Sus personajes deambulan como barcos sin rumbo ni estela hasta perderse en la vastedad de un universo sombrío y abrumador en el que asoma el humo y las botellas vacías de un Onetti hastiado que supo intuir mejor que nadie el persistente naufragio del mundo. Reseñas:«Su estilo hace inverosímil lo incierto y se aproxima a veces a un auténtico prodigio lingüístico.»J.M. Caballero Bonald «El clásico por antonomasia de las letras hispanoamericanas contemporáneas.»Augusto Roa Bastos

Juan Carlos Onetti was one of the greatest Uruguayan writers and journalists. After growing up in an environment where he did not finish high school and had to work in various jobs, Onetti traveled to Buenos Aires in 1930, upon marrying his first wife. Once in Argentina, he began to publish film reviews and collaborate in magazines.

After his divorce, Onetti returns to Uruguay, although he travels regularly to Argentina, where he maintains good relations. During these years, Onetti never stops writing despite not finding facilities to publish. In 1936, he unsuccessfully tried to enlist in the International Brigades to participate in the Spanish Civil War.

From 1939, he began working for the Marcha magazine and published his first book, El pozo (1939). In 1941, he joined the Reuters Agency and in 1950 published La vida breve, considered his best novel, a foundational book of Santa María.

In 1975, he decided to settle in Madrid, distancing himself from the military dictatorship established in Uruguay. He continues writing and in 1980 is nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. That same year, he receives the highest accolade in Hispanic letters: the Cervantes Prize. He also garnered other awards, such as the National Literature Prize of Uruguay or the Narrative Criticism Prize.

In 1993, his last novel was published: Cuando ya no importe, in which he closes the universe created around Santa María.

Onetti died in Madrid in 1994.
