Coffee Grounds Novel | Mario Benedetti | Claudio's family was always moving from one house to another during his childhood. However, out of all those houses, he gives special importance to their house on "Capurro" street. It was there that he made his most significant friendships, and it was there that he lived unforgettable experiences. Throughout his writings, he will take us on a long journey where he introduces us to the city of Montevideo house by house, street by street, square by square, and cafe by cafe, almost making us touch its walls and stones. He reveals the nature of its people, their concerns, and their spontaneous interests in scenes that include a lot of humor, sarcasm, and reflections on life and death. In an elegantly simple style, Benedetti, one of the great novelists of Uruguay, recounts the essential moments of his protagonist's human experience, from childhood to mature manhood, in a narrative that is sometimes intimate and sometimes passionate.
