«La balada de Johnny Sosa» is the novel by Mario Delgado Aparaín, published by Ediciones B in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
In the small town of Mosquitos, in the Uruguayan countryside, life passes between songs and routines until the army bursts onto the scene. Johnny Sosa, a blues singer with a hollow smile, shares his existence with his wife Dina and an electric guitar; the events that unsettle the town will test his dignity and his loyalty.
The novel was published in 1995 in the Tiempos Modernos collection and includes a prologue by Luis Sepúlveda and illustrations by Óscar Astromujoff.
Recommended for readers of Uruguayan fiction and for those seeking a story of everyday resistance against authoritarianism.
