The Pit (Spanish: El pozo) is the debut novel by Uruguayan author Juan Carlos Onetti.

Published in 1939, the novel is written in form of a diary. Eladio Linacero, the main character, shows his scepticism for life in general.[1]

Some literary critics trace the origins of the Latin American Boom to this novel and others, such as Ernesto Sabato's The Tunnel.

It was translated into Kurdish by Jiyar Homer.[2]
