A reflection on Federico Garcia Lorca's life, his haunting death,
and the fame that reinvigorated the marvelous in the modern world
"A galaxy of critical insights into the cultural shock waves
circling and crisscrossing Lorca's execution and his unknown
resting place, there is not a single book on Lorca like this
one."-Andres Zamora, Vanderbilt University There is something
fundamentally unfinished about the life and work of Federico Garcia
Lorca (1898-1936), and not simply because his life ended abruptly.
Noel Valis reveals how this quality gives shape to the ways in
which he has been continuously re-imagined since his death. Lorca's
execution at the start of the Spanish Civil War was not only
horrific but transformative, setting in motion many of the poet's
afterlives. He is intimately tied to both an individual and a
collective identity, as the people's poet, a gay icon, and fabled
member of a dead poets' society. The specter of his violent death
continues to haunt everything connected to Lorca, fueling the
desire to fill in the gaps in the poet's biography.
