Novelas de Santa María brings together three of Onetti's most important works that take place in that city: A Brief Life (1950), The Shipyard (1962) and Body Snatcher (1964).
With prologue by Mario Vargas Llosa.
“Onetti has invented this place [Santa María] in the way Flaubert invented his Normandy: imagined it as an intricately specified reality. Santa María, like Macondo and Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County, doesn’t exist, but you can find its twin all over Latin America.” Michael Wood, London Review of Books
