Carlos Rojas

Yale University Press
In Carlos Rojasâ€s imaginative novel, the Spanish poet Federico GarcÃa Lorca, murdered by Francoist rebels in August 1936, finds himself in an inferno that somehow resembles Breughelâ€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 doppelgÃngers 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 premiseâ€"GarcÃa Lorca in hellâ€"to reexamine the poetâ€s life and speculate on alternatives to his tragic end. Rojas creates with a surrealistâ€s eye and a moral philosopherâ€s mind. He conjures a profoundly original world, and in so doing earns a place among such international peers as Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, Philip Roth, J. M. Coetzee, and José Saramago.
