«Yo, otro» is the literary essay by Imre Kertész, published by Acantilado in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Imre Kertész sets out from a journey through European cities and asks whether the self is immovable or a constant flow. Kertész, deported to Auschwitz and a witness to Stalinist Hungary, probes a former, lost self and traces, with the voices of Western literature and thought, the historicity of the self from the Second World War to the present.
