Lorca, the Cursed Poet

A revealing biography of one of the most important authors of the 20th century.

Federico García Lorca's affinity with marginalized groups in Western society—immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community—along with his psychological complexity, his profound sense of tragedy, and ultimately, his premature and brutal death, paint a picture of Lorca as a modern-day "outsider," in the most profound and respectful sense of the word. Francisco Umbral offers us a completely different perspective on the author from the usual portrayals.
