I really think that one of the biggest tasks of the journey of novelists, writers, and artists in the general sense (fortunately, I'm neither), is to embody through their art the essense, so to speak, of an identity. Most of them choose the path of a nation, as Cervantes with the Spaniard through his hidalgo.

Here in México we have so many examples, my favourites are Frida Kahlo (painter), Revueltas (musician-check La Noche de los Mayas), and the colossal figure of Octavio Paz, with the essay of THE Mexican identity: The Labyrinth of Solitude.

Thanks for the great reading! I really enjoy you whilst breakfast, hehe
