Cuento para un hombre que lloró tapándose el rostro [Story for a Man Who Covered His Face While He Cried]

Alonso, Digdora

Notes: A three-sheet pergamino (folded broadside). 11 by 40 inches unfolded. An edition of 200 copies. Colección Inicios.

The designer behind Ediciones Vigía and El Fortín, Rolando Estévez, has interpreted the work of the Matanzas poet Digdora Alonso (1921–2007) more than any other writer. This text, while called a story, is actually a poem. This pergamino is assembled from many pieces of paper and is handcolored throughout. Two of the sheets are trimmed to the shape of the illustration—a standing male form—one with the illustration and the other with the text. This work was issued in a large handmade envelope with a title label.
