San Camilo, 1936: The Eve, Feast, and Octave of St. Camillus of the Year 1936 in Madrid
By general agreement, San Camilo, 1936 is the best novel of this Nobel laureate's later career; it's also his most daunting. Densely written and unparagraphed, it records the baser aspects of Madrilenian life on the eve of civil war, as filtered through the consciousness of a cynical young student. Public events intrude, but for the most part the focus is on the private and sordid, the tone one of disgust and self-inquisition. Recommended for academic collections and for public libraries with strong literary collections.- Grove Koger, Boise P.L., Id.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
