La Estela de Caicedo: Miradas Crticas [Paperback]

In the narrow period of approximately ten years that elapses between his first publications and the year of his enigmatic suicide (1967-1977), Andr?s Caicedo performs in Cali, Colombia, his fascinating and disturbing contribution to literature, theater, film review and overall perceptions of his generation and those that followed. We can speak of a Caicedo Event, in the astrophysical sense of the expression, judging by the fleeting but almost cosmic influence that this writer represented for many young people in his time and that many others still believe to experience in our days upon coming in contact with his work. We can also speak of the trail of Caicedo. From being an object of infamous worship among the margins of the margins of Cali, Caicedo went on to configure a theme that shapes the late modern present in important Colombian domains.In the narrow period of approximately ten years that elapses between his first publications and the year of his enigmatic suicide (1967-1977), Andr?s Caicedo performs in Cali, Colombia, his fascinating and disturbing contribution to literature, theater, film review and overall perceptions of his generation and those that followed.
