Summary:
In Carlos Rojas's imaginative novel, the Spanish
poet
Federico
García
Lorca
, murdered by Francoist rebels in August 1936, finds himself in an inferno that somehow resembles Breughel's Tower of Babel. 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.
