Mario Benedetti was born in Paso de los Toros, Uruguay, on 14 September 1920. He did journalism for the weekly Marcha from 1945 till it was shut down by dictatorship. He also taught Latin American Literature at the Faculty of the Humanities in Montevideo. After the military coup in 1973, he resigned his university position and went into exile, first in Argentina and later in Peru, Cuba, and Spain. In 1976, he began to serve on the board of the Centro de Investigaciones Literarias of the Casa de las Américas in Havana. He lived in exile till 1983, and he now lives in Montevideo and Madrid. He has published more than 40 books, which have been translated into 18 languages. His novels and short stories have been adopted for radio, television, and cinema. This poem has been popularized by Joan Manuel Serrat's song. Translation by Yoshie Furuhashi. |
