内容简介

In "A Cock-Eyed Comedy," Father Trennes is like Virginia Woolf's Orlando, a spirit of the age moving through several centuries of Spain's history. His most recent incarnation is as an Opus Dei religious leader in present-day Spain, whose conformity Goytisolo delightfully savages. A cast of real people and invented characters, including Roland Barthes, Jean Genet, and Manuel Puig, are mixed up in a literary and historical melting pot. "A Cock-Eyed Comedy" is a transgressive dark comedy with a significant message about religion and sexuality. Juan Goytisolo was born in Barcelona in 1931. In 2004 he was awarded the prestigious Juan Rulfo Award for Literature. His most recent books are "State of Siege," "The Garden of Secrets," and "Landscapes of War."
