Sobre Onetti en inglésHomage to Onetti in MontevideoPrensa Latina Talks and exhibits on Juan Carlos Onetti and his literary and sentimental love for Montevideo are being planned by the Municipal Town Council to celebrate the writer´s 100th anniversary. Peru Novelist Vargas Llosa says Uruguay's Onetti "one of the greatest writers in the Spanish language"Ana Mendoza Cervantes Prize-Winning Author says that Uruguayan Onetti was "a superb short-story writer," comparable to Jorge Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo, F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It's About The LoveDavid Seth Michaels A continuation of an idea. Remember my essay that mentioned the Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onetti? I thought not. It's OK. It was about what happened to various writers when their countries decided that what they wrote was unacceptable. The piece was an inquiry about whether that kind of police state might be growing in the US. Let the wind speakGeorgina Jiménez Perhaps it was Spain, or perhaps it was just old age, but Juan Carlos Onetti’s self-imposed exile after his inexplicable incarceration in Uruguay left its footprint in the increasingly dry soil of a once fertile career. Juan Carlos Onetti: Let the wind speakRonald de Feo This book was written soon after his exile in Spain, by this Uruguay born author. This book looks into the periods life of Medina, as a fake (!) doctor, as a painter and as the chief of police. Bitterness, revenge and destruction is the underlying scheme of this novel. Being expelled from Santa Maria and living across the river at Lavanda, Medina has a love-hate relation with Santa Maria and everything associated with it. The Thin and The Fat: Onetti and Felisberto HernándezGustavo San Román Onetti (1909-1994) and Felisberto Hernández (1902-1964) are generally regarded in current critical thinking as the two most important Uruguayan prose writers since the 1930s. Their work, which overlapped for about twenty years, has some features in common. "Tonight": The screenwriter's noteGilles Taurand “Une Nuit de Chien “(Tonight) is justifiably regarded as one of Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onetti's best novels. The story takes place over one night. A nightmare that anticipates some of the most tragic episodes of Latin America's recent history. In a besieged town, everyone is desperately trying to save their own skins. "Tonight": The director's noteWerner Schroeter I am looking for the vital forces of love, death and life through my cinematographic work, and partly through my theatrical work as well. In order to express them, I use multiple phantasmagoria and utopian forms. I was touched by Juan Carlos Onetti’s work, where I could find ideas that are close to mine. His, however, were filtered by the unbearable experience of war and of the male chauvinist temperament typical of SUR Argentine culture. His work leads us to the following question: What is this creature called the human being? Where does humankind’s energy come from, its sense of fatality, and above all, its Sehnsucht, its yearning and ardent desire for melancholia? Juan Carlos Onetti
The Uruguayan author's complete works are being published. They are contrasted with the original manuscripts. This is very important because Onetti never corrected a single page of his novels. This publication filled a void because some of his works were not found in bookstores. Tales Told: Narrator, Character, and Theme in Juan Carlos Onetti's JuntacadáveresBart L. Lewis The genius of Latin America's revered contemporary novelist and influential stylistic innovator, Juan Carlos Onetti, lies in his telling stories whose only reality is artistic and transcendent. In his first short stories and the landmark El pozo, first-person narration predominates: the storyteller is at the center of his tale, with the freedom to elaborate and imagine, to defer and efface. |
