Los origenes and the days

Starting from the question that guides this Dossier, I assume the freedom of the essay and I consider studying the last book of the writer Carlos Liscano, Los origenes, in the general context of his work, but, more strictly, of his production since 2000, which reveals the increasingly important presence of "artist's books", drawing, painting, and comics. Liscano has created through the combination of image and word, reflection and humor, a kind of diary of his days. This work proposes reading the autobiographical story Los origenes in counterpoint to that production. It considers the possibilities and the meaning of determining the origin and finds in this other autobiographical form a foundational desire that is not in the artist's books with which, nevertheless, it dialogues.
