Not a review - I'm correcting a mistake
As a Uruguayan reader and book-lover, I take offense at an editorial review by the Library Journal which, in spite of its literary name, doesn't seem to have bothered to check the accuracy of the information it gives about books' authors.

I bought ten "classics" from Latin America for a trip there and this was one of them. Of the ten books, this was my least favorite. I really thought it fizzled. The first two chapters brought my interest to a frenzy right away and then beyond that, it was reduced to a good line or thought every twenty pages.

As a Uruguayan reader and book-lover, I take offense at an editorial review by the Library Journal which, in spite of its literary name, doesn't seem to have bothered to check the accuracy of the information it gives about books' authors. F.Y.I., Juan Carlos Onetti was not Argentinian. He was Uruguayan, and ranks with his countrymen, the literary geniuses Horacio Quiroga, Eduardo Galeano and Felisberto Hernández, in originality and quality of craftmanship. I can only say how sorry I am to see erroneous information happily published online, to the confusion and misguiding of readers.

This review is from: Let the Wind Speak (Extraordinary Classics) (Paperback)
I bought ten "classics" from Latin America for a trip there and this was one of them. Of the ten books, this was my least favorite. I really thought it fizzled. The first two chapters brought my interest to a frenzy right away and then beyond that, it was reduced to a good line or thought every twenty pages. I know most reviews say this book is genius, but I find it bland, lacking in any kind of real depth or power or scope. See my other reviews for books I much prefer from Latin America- and not just Gabrielle Garcia Marquez books which anyone could tell you to read.
