[Marxism] Death of Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti

[Nasir Khan <naskha3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Uruguay’s incorruptible poet Mario Benedetti

Socialist Worker, June  21, 2009

ON MAY 17, the great Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti passed away at
the age of 88. His death was widely mourned in Latin America and
Europe. In the U.S., it did not register at all.

This is unfortunate, indeed, for Benedetti was one of the most
brilliant writers humanity has produced. He excelled in a wide range
of literary genres: poetry, novels, short stories, essays, plays,
screenplays and journalism. There are very few writers in history
about whom this claim can be made. Yet in this country, it is as if he
was never born, he never wrote, and he never existed.
