About

A writer begins keeping a notebook of handwriting exercises hoping that, if he is able to improve his penmanship, he himself will also improve. What begins as a mere physical exercise is filled involuntarily with humorous reflections and tender anecdotes about living, writing, and the sense-or nonsense-of existence.

Reviews

"In short, the title of Empty Words is deceptive. On the contrary, it is full. Full of the mystery that is the irrational side of the act of writing."
Transfuge
"An intense form of introspection that has nothing to do with the usual narcissism of the world of letters."
Le Matricule des Anges
"Empty Words is a concentrate of Uruguayan humor, and the narrator, busy perfecting his upstrokes and down strokes, almost forgets to have something to say."
L'Obs
