«El porvenir de mi pasado» is a collection of short stories by Mario Benedetti published by Punto de Lectura in hardback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The stories and poems in the volume mix ghosts, revolvers and dreams with characters who waver between light and shadow. The book speaks of the secrets we all keep, of childhood and old age, and of uncertainty about what is real in dreams. Benedetti's clear prose turns those emotions into relatable tales.
The volume brings together nearly fifty stories and poems, organised in four parts that begin with a poem, and includes «Niñoquepiensa», written in 1956.
A title for readers of short fiction and Latin American narrative, with stories that portray everyday emotions and secrets.
Mario Benedetti Farrugia, was a Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet and an integral member of the Generación del 45. Despite publishing more than 80 books and being published in twenty languages, he was not well known in the English-speaking world. In the Spanish-speaking world, he is considered one of Latin America's most important writers of the latter half of the 20th century.
