Considered by many to be the most outstanding and erudite Uruguayan prose writer of his time, Onetti never completed his secondary education.

Description in Spanish: ''A cada lectura el entusiasmo ha sido identico, sin conocer nunca la decepcion, sino exactamente la alegria inversa de comprobar que no solo me seguian gustando esos cuentos, sino que me gustaban mucho mas que antes, que podia adentrarme mucho mas hondamente en ellos a medida que iba adentrandome en mi propia vida.'' Antonio Munoz Molina''
