Abstract
Among the exodus of Uruguayan artists and intellectuals described by Hortensia Campanella (p 29) is Jorge Musto. whose short story ‘Pale Browns and Yellows’ we published in Index on Censorship 2/1981. As actor, theatre director and journalist, Jorge Musto was associated with the two best-known standard bearers of the rich cultural movement which blossomed in Uruguay before the 1973 military coup: the El Galpón theatre company (Index on Censorship 2/1977 and 2/1979) and the weekly magazine Marcha (4/1974 and 2/1979). He has published several novels and short stories, and now works as a translator in Paris, having fallen victim in 1972 to the repression which paved the way for the final military takeover. It was in Paris that the following interview was carried out in February 1981 by Index on Censorship's Latin America researcher. Our apologies for having held it over for so long, for reasons entirely of space. The interview is translated from Spanish.
