"Scream of rage", according to Philippe-Ollé Laprune, the first misdemeanor manifesto of the Colombian poet Gonzalo Arango becomes known in 1958 when it founded the movement nadaísta, perhaps the most strident and useless on the impoverished land And in front of the impoverished human mind, as Jotamario Arbeláez refers to in the prologue. Arango thus defines Nadaism: "In a very limited concept, it is a revolution in the form and content of the spiritual order prevailing in Colombia. For youth it is a schizophrenic-conscious state against passive states of spirit and culture. In the exordium Philippe-Ollé asks: How, within a sordid and closed universe like that of Columbia in the fifties, can a man get up and scream in rage ??? And he adds: "This man only represents himself, saturated with bitterness and disarmed in the face of countless impossible solutions. His cry only expresses his discomfort and is nothing more than the voice of his position and his disappointment in the life that is proposed to him.

The unmistakable manifesto was, in the words of the poet Jotamario Arbeláez: "purely verbal terrorism based on the best of Dada Tristan Tzara and Jean Arp and the worst of existentialism of Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, the most outdated of futurism Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and Ardengo Soffici, the most automatic surrealism of André Breton and René Crevel and Dalí and the most hypodermic of the Beat Generation of Kerouac and Ginsberg and Burroughs, and malnutrition of the only thing we had received from our country, which was Vernacular literature and violence like rice ??. While Arango did not necessarily seek to convince or argue, as Ollé Laprune points out, it is necessary to recognize that his position was shared by many young people, and this proves that the collective unconscious of the moment provoked and prepared the Advent of Nadaism. This book contains, in addition, other texts of Gonzalo Arango that reflect the thought of poetas participants also of the movement nadaísta.
