Brausen eavesdrops on the conversation of his neighbours, imagining their gestures, their expressions. Brausen lives with his wife, who has undergone surgery after being diagnosed with breast cancer. To compensate for this physical void which stalls their caresses, Brausen imagines stories of Santa Maria, and a doctor named Diaz Grey.
Review:
"Latin American literature has few secrets to divulge the English-speaking world, but one of them is the Uruguayan novelist Juan Carlos Onetti."
Gerald Martin, Guardian (London)
