THEMA | Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary |
Synopsis | The mythical sixties come to an end. A long-haired Mexican arrives from London to Barcelona, the only “modern” city in Francisco Franco’s Spain. He has a trip schedule in mind, but people pester him in the streets and bars, and finally police will arrest him at a little jail behind the medieval walls of Burgos. He will live with criminals that appear to have come from the Lazarillo de Tormes and La Celestina: the cowards and the reckless, the clearheaded that plot and the madmen that scream. But they are all touched by the grace of humanity. And the cruel regression of fascist Spain is inscribed in them. |
