En El astillero Onetti se acerca a un equilibrio casi perfecto, a una economía artística que resulta algo milagrosa.
Mario Benedetti

Regresar a la alucinada ciudad de Santa María, emplearse en el astillero de Petrus y enamorar a la hija de éste es para Larsen la última oportunidad de encontrar un sentido. Sin embargo, muy pronto dicha tentativa se convierte en una rigurosa farsa: no hay nada que hacer en un astillero paralizado y en ruinas, ni es posible amar voluntariamente. A pesar de que la vida lo excluye, Larsen continúa impertérrito en su papel, como si no quisiera mirar a la cara a un mundo en vías de extinción, o tal vez porque fingir es la única salida posible contra la locura.
Julio Cortázar dijo sobre Juan Carlos Onetti:
El más grande novelista latinoamericano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"In The Shipyard, Onetti comes close to an almost perfect equilibrium, to an artistic economy that seems rather miraculous." -Mario Benedetti
Returning to the dreamed-of city of Santa María, getting a job in Petrus's shipyard, and winning the heart of Petrus's daughter is, for Larsen, the last opportunity to find his purpose. However, the attempt soon becomes a meticulous farse: there is nothing to do in a stagnant, ruined shipyard, nor is it possible to will oneself to love. Even though life precludes it, Larsen continues undaunted in his role, as though he doesn't want to look at the reality of a world en route to extinction, or perhaps because pretending is the only possible way out of madness.

Julio Cortázar said about Juan Carlos Onetti: "the greatest Latin American novelist."

About the Author
Juan Carlos Onetti (Montevideo, 1909-Madrid, 1994) fue uno de los mejores exponentes de las letras hispánicas del siglo XX. Autor de relatos y novelas, a su primera etapa se deben obras tan importantes como El pozo (1939), Tierra de nadie (1941), Para esta noche (1943) o La vida breve (1950). Desde la publicación de esta última, comenzó a situar todas sus obras en Santa María, universo imaginario a través del que sentó escuela en la narrativa latinoamericana. Los adioses (1953), El astillero (1961) o Juntacadáveres (1964) son buena muestra de su madurez y altísima calidad literaria. Exiliado en España desde mediados de los años setenta, obtuvo el prestigioso Premio Cervantes en 1980 y el reconocimiento de su país, una vez este recobró la democracia, con el Gran Premio Nacional de Literatura en 1985.
