Un hombre solitario que fuma en un sitio cualquiera de la ciudad

Abstract

This article goes through Luis Harss’ mythical text, “Los nuestros”, which described the Uruguayan writer together with other “boom” authors from a very sharp physical and psychological perspective, the basis of later auscultations and recreations of his figure. The analysis of Harss’ text reveals itself as a valid way to sketch the main lines of Onetti’s ethopeia and the cardinal points of his literary creation.
