Published in 1969 by the elusive Ediciones Chinatown, El fiord —55 years after its release— continues to exert its unsettling effects on national literature. Through a literalist reading, the study explores its role as an initiatory text within Lamborghini’s oeuvre (and within a new wave of Argentine writing), situating it in dialogue with Esteban Echeverría’s El matadero (1871). The analysis interrogates El fiord’s connections to Lamborghini’s later works, with particular attention to Sebregondi retrocede (1973) —a disquieting text published in 1973 but composed contemporaneously with El fiord (1969). Finally, the article proposes how these linguistic and autobiographical materialities intertwine, a gesture that would become a defining feature of Lamborghini’s subsequent poetic, visual, and object-based production. El presente artículo revisa la primera obra literaria del artista argentino Osvaldo Lamborghini desde una perspectiva material, reparando en dos de sus derivas: la materialidad de la lengua y la materialidad de lo autobiográfico. El fiord, publicado en 1969 por la editorial fantasma Ediciones Chinatown, a 55 años de su publicación, aún sigue causando sus extraños efectos en la literatura nacional. A través de una lectura en clave literal, se revisa su vínculo en tanto ópera prima de la obra lamborghínea —y de una nueva escritura argentina— poniéndolo en serie con El matadero (1871) de Esteban Echeverría; se problematizan los vínculos de El fiord con el resto de la obra de Lamborghini, prestando especial atención a un texto publicado en 1973 pero de redacción contemporánea a la escritura de El fiord (1969), el inquietante Sebregondi retrocede (1973); y se propone visualizar cómo se enmadejan las distintas materialidades —lingüísticas y autobiográficas—, en un gesto que será la marca de fábrica de toda su obra poética, visual y objetual posterior.
