Ein Mann erhält von seiner geschiedenen Frau kommentarlos obszöne Fotos zugeschickt, die sie beim Verkehr mit fremden Männern zeigen. Ihre Rache? Ihr Versuch, ihn zurückzugewinnen? Onetti erschafft daraus eine der eigentümlichsten und radikalsten Liebesgeschichten, die je geschrieben wurden. Ein abgehalfterter Ringer stellt sich einem aussichtslos erscheinenden Kampf, gegen den Willen seines menschenfreundlichen Impresarios. Aber wer kämpft da am Ende mit wem? Ein unwahrscheinliches Paar erscheint in Santa María, und mit seinem rätselhaft amoralischen Wesen schockiert und bezaubert es die Stadt gleichermaßen. Bis ein grandioser Schlussakkord alles ein weiteres Mal wendet. Dieser Band versammelt fünf Geschichten von Onetti, einem Meister der erzählerischen Genauigkeit und Ambivalenz.
