A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

A modern Spanish masterpiece by one of the most extraordinary novelists of our time

“As intelligent and audacious a meditation on art, fate and mortality as anyone could hope to read.” ―Los Angeles Times

In Carlos Rojas’s imaginative novel, the Spanish poet Federico Garc�a Lorca, murdered by Francoist rebels in August 1936, finds himself in an inferno that somehow resembles Breughel’s Tower of Babel. He sits alone in a small theater in this private hell, viewing scenes from his own life performed over and over and over. Unexpectedly, two doppelg�ngers appear, one a middle-aged Lorca, the other an irascible octogenarian self, and the poet faces a nightmarish confusion of alternative identities and destinies.

Carlos Rojas uses a fantastic premise―Garc�a Lorca in hell―to reexamine the poet’s life and speculate on alternatives to his tragic end. Rojas creates with a surrealist’s eye and a moral philosopher’s mind. He conjures a profoundly original world, and in so doing earns a place among such international peers as Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez, Philip Roth, J. M. Coetzee, and Jos� Saramago.
