«La borra del café» is the novel by Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti, published by Alfaguara in paperback (226 pages, in Spanish).
Claudio recalls his childhood in Montevideo from age five and, through fragmentary memories, reconstructs the people and events that marked his life: his mother's death, the discovery of love, and social awareness. Benedetti turns these experiences into a reflection on the passage of time and the imprint left by affections.
The novel was published in 1996, is part of the Alfaguara Bolsillo collection, and is set in Montevideo.
For readers of Latin American literature and contemporary fiction who appreciate stories of memory and everyday life.
