Mario Benedetti was a celebrated Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet, whose significant contributions as a member of the influential Generación del 45 had a profound impact on the literary world. Throughout his illustrious career, he authored an astonishing number of over 80 books, which were subsequently translated into an impressive twenty languages, yet it is somewhat astonishing that he remained relatively unknown in the English-speaking world.
