Dejemos hablar al viento
"The Graham Greene of Uruguay . . . foreshadowing the work of Beckett and Camus."-- The Sunday Telegraph Medina lives across the river from Santa Maria, a town he is not allowed to enter and therefore wishes to destroy. Let the Wind Speak sees Juan Carlos Onetti coming to terms with his exclusion from the Santa Marias of his childhood, his first sexual conquests, his first cigarettes, and his first double whiskeys. A lover's bitter lament. Juan Carlos Onetti (1909-1994) was born in Uruguay. After being imprisoned under the Argentinian military dictatorship, he was exiled to Spain. He was awarded Uruguay's national literature prize in 1963.

Not a review - I'm correcting a mistake
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
As a Uruguayan reader and book-lover, I take offense at an editorial review by the Library Journal which, in spite of its literary name, doesn't seem to have bothered to check the accuracy of the information it gives about books' authors. F.Y.I., Juan Carlos Onetti was not Argentinian. He was Uruguayan, and ranks with his countrymen, the literary geniuses Horacio Quiroga, Eduardo Galeano and Felisberto Hernández, in originality and quality of craftmanship. I can only say how sorry I am to see erroneous information happily published online, to the confusion and misguiding of readers.
