He was a photographer; bookseller; comics scriptwriter; humourist; crossword author; and creator of brain games. He wrote twelve novels and several short story collections and it was not long before he gained cult status amongst readers in Uruguay and Argentina; despite keeping a low profile. He has inspired Latin American writers such as Rodolfo Fogwill; César Aira and Alejandro Zambra. In 2000 he was awarded the Guggenheim grant that allowed him to complete work on The Luminous Novel; which was published posthumously.vizualizați mai puține
