Chico y Rita

by Javier Mariscal and Fernando Trueba

Since we know that the egg came before the chicken, let me ask another question. Which came first: the film (that is still on my to-watch list!) or the book?

I read in Spanish Wikipedia that Mariscal was making the graphic novel in parallel to the work on the animation, while the Mariscal’s own website says that the book is an adaptation of the film.

Does it really matter? According to Mariscal himself, “the two works are completely different”. I loved the book. But I need the soundtrack!
