The "dean" of contemporary Spanish fiction and his controversial novels
In Understanding Camilo Jose Cela Lucile C. Charlebois examines the 1989 Nobel laureate's ten most important novels. She shows that in addition to being unequivocally Spanish in their concerns, characters, and imager the novels speak to the larger world with their compendium of insights into the most basic human needs, desires, and fears.
Drawing upon Cela's childhood, participation in the Spanish Civil War, and life in Spain during and after Franco's dictatorship, Charlebois shows that inspite of the repression that beset his homeland during so much of his career. Cela successfully developed his penchant for technical experimentation and creative renewal. In addition to identifying his favored stylistic devices and thematic concerns, she provides close readings of the novelist's textured discourses, which bristle with fragmentation and ambiguity, hilarity and profanity, iconoclasm and alienation.
