«Señas de identidad» is the contemporary fiction novel by Juan Goytisolo, published by Editorial Seix Barral in paperback (333 pages, in Spanish).
The work inaugurates a new stage in Goytisolo's narrative. Through a complex investigation of technical and expressive resources, the author makes a historical and political recapitulation of contemporary Spain and questions the relationships between author and character, the novelistic perspective, and the critique of writing linked to the critique of society. It is a fundamental work of postwar Spanish narrative.
First title of the Álvaro Mendiola Trilogy, completed by «Reivindicación del conde don Julián» and «Juan sin Tierra». The first edition appeared in Mexico in 1966.
Recommended for readers interested in the postwar Spanish novel, narrative renewal, and the critical portrait of 20th-century Spain.
