En el estrecho lapso de los aproximadamente diez anos que transcurren entre su primeras publicaciones y el ano de su suicidio enigmatico (1967-1977), ejecuta Andres Caicedo en Cali, Colombia, su fascinante y perturbadora aportacion a la literatura, al teatro, a la critica de cine y al sensorium de su generacion y las que le siguieron. Se puede hablar de un Evento Caicedo, en el sentido astrofisico de la expresion, a juzgar por el evento fugaz pero casi cosmico que represento este escritor para muchos jovenes en su epoca y que creen experimentar todavia otros tantos en nuestros dias al entrar en contacto con su obra. Se puede hablar tambien de una estela de Caicedo. De ser un objeto de culto impublico en el margen del margen de Cali, Caicedo paso a configurar un tema que cifra el presente tardomoderno en importantes ambitos colombianos. ~ In the narrow period of approximately ten years that elapses between his first publications and the year of his enigmatic suicide (1967-1977), Andres Caicedo performs in Cali, Colombia, his fascinating and disturbing contribution to literature, theater, film review and overall perceptions of his generation and those that followed. We can speak of a Caicedo Event, in the astrophysical sense of the expression, judging by the fleeting but almost cosmic influence that this writer represented for many young people in his time and that many others still believe to experience in our days upon coming in contact with his work. We can also speak of the trail of Caicedo. From being an object of infamous worship among the margins of the margins of Cali, Caicedo went on to configure a theme that shapes the late modern present in important Colombian domains.
