Pedro Mairal, uno de los mejores escritores latinoamericanos. Leila Guerriero
Esta uruguaya no alcanzó a pasar ni una noche en la mesa de noche: como las cosas buenas de la vida, se fue de un tirón y me dejó desvelado. Juan Pablo Villalobos
La prosa de Mairal, argentino de Buenos Aires, le deja a uno tocado. Icon (El País)
Lucas Pereyra viaja desde Buenos Aires hasta Montevideo en busca de un dinero que no puede recibir en su propio país. La travesía no es solo para sortear trabas económicas, sino también un intento por escapar de un matrimonio que se tambalea. Al otro lado del río lo espera una mujer. Pero las cosas no suceden como las había planeado y lo que pretendía ser una escapada se convierte en una confrontación inevitable con la verdad que ha tratado de eludir.
Una novela narrada con una voz íntima y envolvente que indaga en las fisuras de una relación en crisis, oscilando entre la ironía y el desasosiego. A través del personaje de Lucas Pereyra, Mairal nos invita a reflexionar sobre las promesas incumplidas, las expectativas no alcanzadas y las diferencias entre lo que somos y lo que aspirábamos a ser.
La uruguaya se ha convertido en una obra fundamental de la literatura contemporánea y ha consolidado a su autor como una de las grandes voces de la narrativa actual.

"Mairal's prose, an Argentine from Buenos Aires, leaves one deeply moved." Icon (El País)
Lucas Pereyra travels from Buenos Aires to Montevideo in search of money he cannot receive in his own country. The journey is not only to overcome economic obstacles but also an attempt to escape a faltering marriage. On the other side of the river, a woman awaits him. But things do not go as planned, and what was meant to be an escape becomes an inevitable confrontation with the truth he has tried to avoid.
A novel narrated with an intimate and captivating voice that explores the cracks of a relationship in crisis, oscillating between irony and unease. Through the character of Lucas Pereyra, Mairal invites us to reflect on broken promises, unmet expectations, and the differences between who we are and who we aspired to be.
La uruguaya has become a fundamental work of contemporary literature and has established its author as one of the great voices of today's narrative.
