✦ Synopsis

Let the Wind Speak is the last novel in the cycle that Juan Carlos Onetti dedicated to the dying inhabitants of the city of Santa María.

Let the Wind Speak tells the story of Medina, a frustrated man who decides to go elsewhere to resume his true vocations: those of a doctor and a painter. Protected by a prostitute, he soon discovers that his new life is nothing more than the sad parody of an impossible dream. He will never be a good painter, and his dedication to medicine is reduced to performing the tasks of a nurse.

Mortally wounded, Medina returns to the place that has been his sentence, Santa María, where he will act as commissioner; mere pastime of what will really occupy him from now on: his own destruction.

Julio Cortázar said about Let the wind and Juan Carlos Onetti speak ...
"Once again I found here everything that makes you different and unique among us."
