In the late '60s, Juli?n R?os began work on what would have been
his very first novel, but fearing that it wouldn't pass the
stringent Spanish censorship under Franco, decided not to submit
the completed book to publishers. Soon distracted by what would be
his magnum opus -- the "Larva" series -- the manuscript was set
aside and forgotten, until the author found and dusted it off
almost fifty years later. Quite unlike his later postmodernist
work, the short and bitter "Procession of Shadows" is filled with
stories of love, war, and vengeance, focusing on the tiny, remote
village of Tamoga -- a place where vendettas are passed down from
generation to generation, and where violence has left its traces in
every corner. A "Winesberg, Ohio" for the end times, "Procession of
Shadows" shows us a very different side of the usually playful
R?os: dark, direct, and pitiless.
