Cuentos completos

by Juan Carlos Onetti · 1998

+ Want to read

Considered by many to be the most outstanding and erudite Uruguayan prose writer of his time, Onetti never completed his secondary education. His writing is at once comic and tragic as it explores the loneliness of life and disintegration of civilization.
