La vida breve (A Brief Life) is the inaugural novel of Santa María, the mythical territory of the Onettian narrative.
The protagonist of La vida breve , Brausen, listens through a wall to a conversation between a man and a woman. Imagine his gestures, his feelings # Brausen lives with his wife, mutilated after a complicated operation, and to compensate for the physical void that will stop his caresses, he imagines stories: that of Santa María, and that of a doctor named Díaz Gray. But you don't just want to imagine that you are another, you also want to be.

"Onetti's novels and stories are the foundation stones of our modernity."
