Mario Benedetti
by Bettina Perroni

Uruguay is crying now... Mario Benedetti, one of the must famous latin american writers dies at 88.

"I don't think we should be talking of a loss, because he will be with us forever," - Maria Simon, the Culture Minister told local media on Sunday.

My tribute.

Behind the facade of certain urban tribes, on the steps trying to beat the time, within and briefcases full of outstanding accounts, the smoke of boiling coffee ... any bloody heart, any happy heart, a webblog communitiy or the literary society ... a country in national mourning, a continent with universal messages of condolences feeling the sensitive loss of the genius of simple words, those words that inspired and fed none other than music.

RIP Mario Benedetti.
