Mario Benedetti R.I.P.

Mario Benedetti, poet, short story writer and novelist, died in Montevideo, Uruguay on Sunday. He’s known for his short story collection Montevideanos, the novel La Tregua, and one of my personal favorites: the novella set during Uruguay’s Dirty War: La Vecina Orilla.

Here’s an early appreciation, in Spanish, from Buenos Aires daily La Nación.
