«La sirena viuda» is the short story collection by Mario Benedetti, published by Punto de Lectura in hardcover (197 pages, in Spanish).
Benedetti brings together stories focused on moments of daily life: some civil servants wait for approval of a salary increase, a man wakes up unhurriedly on a holiday, and a son makes an unexpected confession to someone who knew his mother closely. Benedetti's style turns the ordinary into narrative material.
The work was originally published in 2002; this Punto de Lectura edition belongs to the Formato Grande collection.
Mario Benedetti Farrugia, was a Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet and an integral member of the Generación del 45.

In the Spanish-speaking world, he is considered one of Latin America's most important writers of the latter half of the 20th century.
