"An intensely skeptical writer whose structural innovations never got in the way of his fundamental task: reacting to life, reconstructing it in writing, peeling away the superfluous, and uncovering the essential." José Darío Martínez on Onetti https://t.co/iCAEtoIlOH

"Onetti writes unsparingly about cruelty. He separates the naïve from the innocent. The first are irresponsible and the latter, more than victims, phantoms. Each of these fifty stories portray the moment when actions becoming irreversible, when dreams come true." https://t.co/SFzkzlsE0D

"One of the greatest Latin-American writers of the 20th century...Onetti never received the international recognition of his peers...The 1st major English translation of his collected stories, A Dream Come True, brings the author’s talents into full view." https://t.co/BuwDmaORIL

"Brilliant, brilliant book...The heroes look and speak like absolute psychopaths, go around slaughtering and robbing strangers with impunity, and act very much with an eye to fame and posterity." @theunread on Wayward Heroes in @The_Millions https://t.co/YmKWIlkyPg

@Esterlallen selected The Scent of Buenos Aires as one of her favorite translated books of the year: "(Hebe Uhart's stories) are told with a deceptive simplicity that draws the reader into deep labyrinths of everyday life." https://t.co/xpUbCtNHHb

Great list, wherein Edwin Frank of @nyrbclassics calls Juan Carlos Onetti's stories, trans. @katalinasilver, "an intoxicating cocktail of solitude, frustrated desire, smoldering anger, defeat, and despair, invariably served with a twist." https://t.co/nlHLsRVptv
