Cluelessness and Frankness

Mario Benedetti

SHORT STORIES, 1989. NEW ALFAGUARA EDITION, 1992. 256 PAGES.

A book that summarizes Benedetti's modes of writing and at the same time constitutes a sort of private conversation between the author and his longtime readers.

It brings together stories, poems, graffiti, and various vignettes on those aspects of reality that have always captivated Mario Benedetti and that have made him one of the most widely read and admired writers of Hispanic literature.

Despistes y franquezas is thus the indispensable complement for anyone who knows the work of the author of La tregua and the ideal beginning for anyone who wants to delve into his writing and his vision of the world.

Criticism, tenderness, denunciation, passion, love and history appear in its pages as those keys that show a writer in the pure truth of his own universe.
