«Señas de identidad» is the novel by Juan Goytisolo, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (382 pages, in Spanish).
Álvaro Mendiola returns to Spain after years of exile. Between memories and encounters, the novel reconstructs his past and that of a country under Francoism, with memory, uprootedness and identity as its axes. Its fragmentary and experimental style fuses social criticism and intimate reflection.
The novel, originally published in 1966, opens the Álvaro Mendiola trilogy; this edition is from 1977.
A key work for readers of contemporary Spanish literature and of social and experimental fiction.
