Agustin's first novel, La Tumba (The Tomb) was the brief but provocative story of a Mexican upperclass teen, deemed indecent by the public but gathering praise from older writers. This and his most famous work, De Perfil (Profile view), a fast and detailed view of three days in the main character's life, show stylistic similarities to James Joyce's work, especially A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
He was considered a member of the so-called Onda literature, onda (wave) being slang for current and fashionable views in the eyes of young people.
A common technique in his work is mixing character's speech with narrative, without making any kind of distinction,(free indirect discourse). Thus -

La mayor importancia de Gilberto Owen radica en su libro de 1948, Perseo vencido, el cual consta de tres partes: el "Madrigal por Medusa", que da título al volumen; la serie de poemas Simbad el varado, bitácora de febrero; y el breve Libro de Ruth. Se trata de un libro escrito durante aproximadamente 18 años, que ha sido interpretado de muy diversas maneras y que narra poéticamente la aventura espiritual de un enamorado, el intento de purificación y el fracaso del amor y de la poesía. Fuertemente influido por Rimbaud, T. S.
