Synopsis "Juntacadaveres (in Spanish)"

Pareciera que no existe nada capaz de alterar la armonía ultracatólica y bienpensante de la ciudad de Santa María. Sin embargo, desde la estación se escucha la llegada del tren que viene de la Capital. En él viaja Larsen, más conocido como Juntacadáveres (apodo que se ha ganado tras haber inventado “el patronazgo de las putas pobres, viejas, consumidas, desdeñadas”), y Nelly, Irene y María Bonita, las tres prostitutas con las que planea instalar el burdel de sus sueños en una casita de persianas celestes junto a la costa. La desaprobación y el rechazo no demoran en aparecer entre los lugareños, comandados por el cura Bergner (ideólogo de la Liga de Caballeros Católicos de Santa María), Marcos Bergner (sobrino del sacerdote, matón, antisemita y heredero de una clase terrateniente reconocida por sus excesos) y las muchachas de la Acción Cooperadora (quienes reclaman: “Queremos novios castos y maridos sanos”).

Juan Carlos Onetti was one of the greatest Uruguayan writers and journalists. After growing up in an environment where he did not finish high school and had to work in various jobs, Onetti traveled to Buenos Aires in 1930, upon marrying his first wife. Once in Argentina, he began to publish film reviews and collaborate in magazines.

After his divorce, Onetti returns to Uruguay, although he travels regularly to Argentina, where he maintains good relations. During these years, Onetti never stops writing despite not finding facilities to publish. In 1936, he unsuccessfully tried to enlist in the International Brigades to participate in the Spanish Civil War.

From 1939, he began working for the Marcha magazine and published his first book, El pozo (1939). In 1941, he joined the Reuters Agency and in 1950 published La vida breve, considered his best novel, a foundational book of Santa María.

In 1975, he decided to settle in Madrid, distancing himself from the military dictatorship established in Uruguay. He continues writing and in 1980 is nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. That same year, he receives the highest accolade in Hispanic letters: the Cervantes Prize. He also garnered other awards, such as the National Literature Prize of Uruguay or the Narrative Criticism Prize.

In 1993, his last novel was published: Cuando ya no importe, in which he closes the universe created around Santa María.

Onetti died in Madrid in 1994.
