- Summary:
-
Leslie Stainton raises the stakes of our appreciation for the greatest of Spain's modern poets, Federico Garcia Lorca. Drawing on fourteen years of research; more than a hundred letters previously unknown to biographers; exclusive interviews with Lorca's friends, family, and acquaintances; and newly discovered archival material, Stainton has brought her subject to life as few biographers can. She describes his carefree childhood in rural Andalusia; his dynamic life in Madrid and Granada, then in New York, Havana, and Buenos Aires; his potent relationships with other Spanish artists, such as Salvador Dali, Luis Bunuel, and Manuel de Falla; and, finally, his marginal political involvement in the Spanish Civil War that nonetheless cost him his life.
