Keywords: sexuality; art; fiction; politics; history; identity

Summary/Abstract: As a psychoanalyst, the writer Federico Andahazi studies both the evolution of Argentine national identity at the sexual level and also the evolution of sexuality in the world through his fiction and the marks the changes of mentality have upon humans. He does it with boldness, elegance and intuition, weaving reality, fiction, fantasy and verisimilitude in order to highlight prejudices and clichés, but also to identify how the real sexual identity imposes in the course of time. Therefore, beyond the confirmation that Andahazi is an important and original Argentine writer of this time, all his fiction and scientific essays convince us that in order to understand the essence of a country one must also deepen its sexual relations.
