About La vida breve
La Vida Breve is a 1950 novel by Uruguayan novelist Juan Carlos Onetti. The novel takes place in Buenos Aires and in the mythical town of Santa Maria - a fictional town "between a river and a colony of Swiss workers", which first appears in this novel, but is also the main setting for many of Onetti's later novels. The plot follows Juan María Brausen, the "founder" of Santa Maria, and Diaz Grey, a countryside doctor and Brausen's fictional character.
