El poeta asesinado

Sinopsis

Originally published in French in 1916, this tragicomic autobiography à clef chronicles the life and death of Croniamantal, the self-proclaimed greatest living poet. Modernism pioneer Guillaume Apollinaire presents his prose work with poetic references aplenty and makes use of the absurd as a defiance of and rebellion against the norm and nature. The provocative novella mythicizes the author, as well as his friends and enemies, including other avant-garde poets and artists.
