He reveals the negotiations and behind-the-scenes maneuvering among those involved in the Spanish publishing industry. Converging interests made strange bedfellows of the often left-wing authors and the staid officials appointed to stand guard over Francoist morality and to defend the supposed purity of Castilian Spanish. Between these two uneasily allied groups circulated larger-than-life real-world characters like the Barcelona publisher Carlos Barral and the all-powerful literary agent Carmen Balcells. The author details the fascinating story of how novels by Mario Vargas Llosa, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Gabriel García Márquez, and Manuel Puig achieved publication in Spain, and in doing so reached a worldwide market. This colorful account underpins a compelling claim that even the most innovative and aesthetically challenging literature has its roots in the economics of the book trade, as well as the institutions of government and the exigencies of everyday politics and ideology.SUNY series in Latin American and Iberian thought and culture.Spanish American fiction20th centuryPublishingSpainCensorshipSpainHistory20th centurySpanish American fictionPublishingCensorshipHistory098/.120946Herrero-Olaizola Alejandro1129871Franco Francisco1892-1975.251526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910975173203321The censorship files4359438UNINA
