Translated from the Spanish by Alfred Macadam. 305 pages. hardcover. Cover: Namara. keywords: Literature Translated Uruguay Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - BODY SNATCHER Is a major literary event: the masterpiece of Uruguayan Juan Carlos Onetti, who has for decades been acknowledged throughout South America and Europe as a world-class writer of fiction. Set in Santa Maria, an imaginary provincial town on the banks of the River Plate (reminiscent of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County), BODY SNATCHER, a tragicomic novel of grotesque ideals and lost illusions, recounts two attempts at self-fulfillment, two Promethean stories by turns. Larsen, a boldly original pimp of weary whores, tries to establish the perfect brothel; passionate Julita, a mad widow, refuses to accept the death of her husband by taking his younger brother as her lover. In their sordid, self- righteous society, which pits stupidity and lust against honor and love, both characters are doomed to failure. Informed by the gothic sobriety of Faulkner, the desperate cynicism of CEline, hysterically funny avant-garde nihilism, and the stark precision of Dostoevsky, Body Snatcher is a formidable work of fiction. inventory #28176.
