LORCA: THE GAY IMAGINATION

LORCA: THE GAY IMAGINATION
Paul Binding

 

The poetry of Federico García Lorca is one of Spain’s greatest gifts to the modern world. Yet his later and most powerful works remain cryptic. For just as Lorca cannot be understood in isolation from the cultural traditions of Spain and Andalucia, so it is also necessary to appreciate the poet’s specific perspective on the world as a gay person, if his meaning is to be fully gleaned. Part biography part literary critique, Binding explores Lorca’s life and work.
