The work of Óscar Colchado Lucio creates a narrative world whose central axis is the fictional recovery of mythological Andean rationality. The aim of this article is to examine the �Andean� regularities that can be seen in his narrative, which are brought forward both at the level of reference and in the register of the voices that it evoked. The hypothesis put forward is that Colchado's narrative suggests a resignification of Andean mythical discourses in literary writing, developing a frontier narrative in which these coexist dynamically with Western narrative form. An important aspect of his work is that, through the combination of Andean mythology and the voices of the subaltern in literary writing, it presents us with a critical vision of the postcolonial state in Peruvian society and, at the same time, the possibility of a symbolic encounter with the Other - criollo, white, Western - within the framework of a renewed tinkuy (ritual battle).
