La vida breve is a novel by the Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onetti, published in 1950. The story follows Brausen, a publicist who, frustrated with his life, invents a series of identities and parallel realities to escape from monotony and existential emptiness. Through these fantasies, Brausen explores themes such as identity, loneliness, desire, and the search for meaning in an absurd world. The novel is considered one of Onetti's most important works and of 20th-century Latin American literature.
