In 'Señas de identidad', Juan Goytisolo introduces us to Álvaro Mendiola, a character searching for his identity after exile. Through letters, photos, maps, and reports, Mendiola tries to reconstruct his roots in a Spain very different from the one he left behind. This novel, the first of a trilogy, is a reference point for post-war Spanish literature and marks the beginning of a period of experimentation in Goytisolo's work. An essential work to understand contemporary Spanish literature.
