In The Green Morning: Memories of Federico, Francisco Garcia Lorca
tells of the charmed childhood he, his sisters, and his older
brother, the Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca,
spent in the "quiet, very fragrant" Andalusian village of Fuente
Vaqueros. Digressions into family history enable us to see
Federico, the son of a well-off landowning family with a tradition
of literacy, poetry-writing, and musical accomplishment-as the
culmination of a particular family type his brother describes as
"happy, spontaneous, and instinctive." The Lorca family eventually
moved to Granada, where both brothers attended university. However,
real education took place at the vividly described deliberations of
the "Back Corner" group of the Granadan avant-garde. As the "green
morning" of childhood came to an end with Federico's first poetic
successes, the brothers' lives diverged; Francisco's account ends
with Federico's departure for Madrid. Francisco became a
distinguished professor of Spanish at Columbia University, and the
second half of this volume includes ten of his lectures on his
brother's work-discussions which draw upon his personal knowledge
of the gradual gestations of the plays and his recollections of
rehearsals where Federico was a skilled director.
