About this book

Lorcation by Brian Dedora; Martn Rodrguez-Gaona is a book available to read on EtoBox.

When acclaimed Canadian writer Brian Dedora travelled to Spain in 2012 to explore "Lorcas Granada," he experienced an unexpected transformation that set him on a path of understanding of the life and work of Federico Garcia Lorca, of the basic elements in common between the Spanish writer's life and his own, and of the tragic grandeur of Lorca's death in Granada in 1936. Lorcation progresses transformationally from prose poem to informal essay, sustained by its three vital metaphors of journey, suitcase, and crossroads. The book, presented as a bilingual English and Spanish edition, follows Dedora's reading and re-enactment of Lorca's life and writing, especially the Spanish author's emergent awareness of his homosexuality, culminating, for Dedora, in a new understanding of Lorca's call to attend to the living within the enigma of death. With its blending of the personal with the historical, Lorcation by Brian Dedora will fascinate lovers of Lorca's writing, and may just spur on a whole new generation of readers to discover the life, loves, and losses of this enigmatic Spanish virtuoso. Praise for Brian Dedora: Gutsy writing from a diving heart that knows how to surface from da
