Abstract
A great part of the work of the writer and visual artist Eduardo Lalo Evre, which runs from a privileged space: the town of San Juan de Puerto Rico, a site depicted in its work not only as temperatisation or topical but also as a tropo, enumeration of urban areas, configuration of subjects in and by the city, as the establishment of ideological and cultural maps. [...] I try to travel and stop briefly in two key texts by Eduardo Lalo, in Burger King de la calle San Francisco (1986) and Los pies de San Juan (2002). They both focus on the perception of the city of San Juan as a space “generating stories” (Lestringant 9), as a critical question about who, how and what is chosen to be represented in the city, as an “invention of the speech” (Monteleone 184) in another space of the real city.
