"Martin Santomé, viudo con tres hijos en vísperas de su jubilación, comienza a registrar en un diario íntimo su vida gris y sin relieve. La vida cotidiana de la rutina oficinesca y la de un hogar desunido y crispado se verán alteradas cierto día, cuando irrumpe en su opaca existencia la joven Laura Avellaneda, nueva empleada a sus órdenes. Y ese cincuentón, hombre mediando pero no mediocre, consciente de sus límites y su desgana, decide abrir, casí sin proponérselo, un paréntis luminoso"--Container.

These poems, by an Uruguayan poet writing from political exile, range in theme from pain of exile to joys of love to the horrors of political repression. Benedetti also frequently conveys with Kafkaesque irony the impact of bureaucracy on the lives of ordinary citizens. His latest poems in this collection focus on the personal and collective problems of reintegration into a wounded and changed society and the desire for universal brotherhood.--From publisher description.
