Descriere magazin:
Description A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti, presenting his existentialist, complex, and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America\'s greatest authors, and regarded as an inventor of a new form and school of writing. Juan Carlos Onetti\'s A Dream Come True depicts a sharp, coherent, literary voice, encompassing Onetti\'s early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas, like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl," an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa Mar a. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local, mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages. About the Author Juan Carlos Onetti was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, but began writing in Buenos Aires in the late 1930s. He published short stories in La Naci n and in the magazine Sur , founded by Victoria Ocampo and Jorge Luis Borges. He then proceeded to write novels centered around the imaginary town of Santa Mar a, which he described through complex, poetic, and existentialist prose in "Los Astilleros," "Juntacad veres," and "La vida breve." Due to Argentina\'s military dictatorship, he was exiled to Spain in 1976, where he worked as a writer for El Pa s and several Latin American newspapers. His lyrical stories and compact novels awarded him the Cervantes Prize in 1980 and the Rod Prize in 1991.
