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 doppelgängers 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-García 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 García Márquez, Philip Roth, J. M. Coetzee, and José Saramago.Spanish literatureSpanish literature.863/.64Rojas Carlos1928-2020.564823Grossman Edith1936-2023.1506892MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779566703321The ingenious gentleman and poet Federico Garcia Lorca ascends to hell3737304UNINA
