| Rosaura a las diez
| | Marco Denevi
| In Rosaura a las diez,published in 1956 by the Argentine Marco
Denevi and winner of the Premio Kraft, the mystery surrounds the sud
den appearance of a young woman taken for Rosaura, who in reality is
just the product of the imagination of a lonely middle-aged portrait
painter named Camilo Canegato. When this woman, a sometime prostitute named Marta Córrega, is murdered and Camilo is accused of the
homicide, the mystery takes on bizarre proportions. The gradual un
folding of the mystery involves the reader intellectually, but also holds him captive to the special interests of several narrators. And the unravelling and ultimate resolution of the mystery permit the reader to be gratified that his efforts at following the narrative carefully have finally been rewarded.
