Goytisolo, Juan Marks of Identity
Dalkey Archive Pr 2007 1564784533 / 9781564784537 Paperback Near fine n/a Paperback
New. Remainder mark, else fine in publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.The reissue of this 1969 translation of a Spanish tour-de-force should captivate those who prize the elegant lyricism and complexity of Latin American fiction. Eschewing political dogma, Goytisolo's ( Forbidden Territory )BIP theme--explored in styles ranging from stream-of-consciousness to those imitative of bureaucratic memoranda--is exile and expatriation. The hero returns from Paris to Goytisolo's native Barcelona after ten years' absence, confronting the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and his ruptured relationship to Catholicism and machismo culture. Patience is required to navigate Goytisolo's often serpentine sentences, many of which consume several pages. But the prose, presented here in a luxuriant translation, attains hypnotic, incantatory powers. Its density is remarkably evocative: referring to one servant, for example, the narrator notes that she was "less self-abnegating, however, his Aunt Mercedes would remind them, than that other legendary maid who after an existence of privation . . . left the entire amount of her savings to that scornful grandfather of his who had exploited her during her lifetime." Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. "Marks of Identity expresses an angry and painful struggle--that of a man who has no love for his country, his generation or himself. . . . Whoever is interested in the Spain of today and tomorrow owes it to themselves to read this passionate literary account." --Le Monde"It is natural that Goytisolo should immediately bring Joyce, Malcolm Lowry, Beckett, and even Nabokov to mind." --V.S. Pritchett"Undoubtedly the greatest living Spanish novelist." --Carlos Fuentes
