shipyard

Five years after being banished from Santa Maria, Larson, the "Corpse Collector," returns to town, hoping to become general manager of the old Petrus shipyard and, by seducing Petrus' daughter, gain entry into this seemingly glamorous family. The shipyard has long since gone bankrupt, but Larson, determined to maintain his elusive hope, continues to toil in the ruined shipyard alongside his two remaining employees. In the drama of life, everyone has a role to play, but Larson doesn't realize that he might be playing his last scene.
Book 1 of the New Latin American Literature Series, Book 2 of the "Santa Maria" Series, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Onetti's death. In "The Shipyard", Onetti comes close to achieving an almost perfect balance, and his simple artistic style is a miracle.
