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. 606 $aSpanish literature 615 0$aSpanish literature. 676 $a863/.64 700 $aRojas$b Carlos$f1928-2020.$0564823 701 $aGrossman$b Edith$f1936-2023.$01506892 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779566703321 996 $aThe ingenious gentleman and poet Federico Garcia Lorca ascends to hell$93737304 997 $aUNINA
