Did Heather Harmon Die

Bridges hares / Mario Benedetti

hares Bridges is an anthology with the best, or what someone assumes they are the best story of the Uruguayan Mario Benedetti. The volume opens his mouth with this excellent account of loss of childhood is the story: "That Mouth" that although the title is not eloquent, yes it is the story. Benedetti's prose is, at all times: pure, does not try shielding and while sometimes dangerously close to the realm of boyando almost sentimental kitsch, "the author manages to recover that intention to end surprise, almost seal home. Other accounts of the book are: Requiem toast, the approach to a child's emotional confession to his mother's lover, the excellent story "Perhaps irreparable" and "Five years of life," Cutting both fantastic. My taste was lacking in the anthology an excellent story called "Night of the ugly", but the anthology serves a good range on the writing of Uruguay.
Bridges
