Críticas:
Latin American literature has few secrets to divulge to the English-speaking world; but one of them is the Uruguayan novelist Juan Carlos Onetti (Guardian)
The Graham Greene of Uruguay... foreshadowing the work of Beckett and Camus (London Review of Books)
A rare chance to catch up with the neglected Uruguan novelist (Metro)
Onetti's world is sick and his hero sick of it, but his compelling, messy existentialism makes Let the Wind Speak a deceptively modern novel, and its reissue a cause for celebration (Observer)
A perplexing but inspiring writer (Guardian)
Reseña del editor:
The archetypal Onetti hero, Medina is at different times of his life a (phoney) doctor, a painter and a police chief. He lives in Lavanda, across the river from Santa Maria, a town he is not allowed to enter and that he, therefore, wishes to destroy. In the end the wind speaks with devastating effect. The first novel written in exile in Spain, Let the Wind Speak is Onetti coming to terms with his exclusion from the Santa Marias of his childhood, his first sexual conquests, his first cigarettes, his first double whiskeys. A lover's bitter lament - it ends in the destruction of the object of adoration.
