NORTH POINT PRESS

"This work deserves the highest recognition . . . no-one can deny Juan Goytisolo is the main Spanish novelist on active service."—Carlos Fuentes
"A beautifully written metaphor for what it means to seek out the truth in a world often dominated by lies . . . this author, now 70 years of age, is one of the most brilliant of living writers."—The Los Angeles Times
Twenty-eight storytellers—one for each letter in the Arabic alphabet—meet in a garden to tell the story of a poet, Eusebio, arrested in the early days of the Spanish Civil War. Eusebio, a friend of García Lorca and his circle, had escaped assassination and fled to North Africa.
Born in Barcelona, Juan Goytisolo left Spain in hatred of Franco. He now lives in Marrakesh, Morocco.

The Garden of Secrets

Literary

Serpent's Tail

God works in mysterious ways... and in A Cock-Eyed Comedy Goytisolo takes on the Spanish Catholic church in a book which is both a comedy and a sharp attack on authority and conformity. Father de Trennes is a member of the staunchly conservative right wing Catholic organisation Opus Dei. Although in his case his search is for sex rather than God. A cast of historical characters, including philosopher Roland Barthes, Jean Genet and Argentine writer Manuel Puig, meet and mingle with a host of imaginary ones in an orgiastic romp until AIDS takes its toll on them all. Joe Orton meets Father Ted in this knockabout comedy which is also a vicious satire on the darker side of the history of the church: a church with many skeletons in its closet.

SOS Free Stock

In this novel, which Juan Goytlsolo has said will be his last, a melancholy, angry old man reviews the precious moments of his life amid the disasters of contemporary history. Years of love end with the death of his wife: their flat, furniture and CDs go, even memories fade. He remembers tender moments with his mother, who was killed in a bomb-blast unleashed by Fascists on Barcelona, the town he was born in. Together they would look at the stars and identify the brightest constellations. For the narrator, the ideal writer is Tolstoy, an enlightened artistocrat who wished to free his serfs and bring up his children with progressive, humanist principles. Tolstoy's characters embody dreams of a more intense, varied life: through them, the narrator discovers that freedom only exists in books. Like the books of W.G.Sebald and Italo Calvino, Blind Rider is a fictional memoir that spans a history of the last fifty years.

Rückforderung des Conde don Julian.

Suhrkamp

Primera novela de la trilogía protagonizada por Álvaro Mendiola- que se completa con Reivindicación del conde don Julián y Juan sin tierra-, Señas de identidad pronto se convirtió en referente de la novela española de la posguerra tras su primera publicación en México en 1966. Con ésta sorprendente obra, Goytisolo cerró una etapa realista para adentrarse en un periodo de experimentación que le propició el reconocimiento de las letras españolas. Alabada por la crítica y por los lectores, Señas de identidad supuco el punto de partida de una concepción de la literatura estilísticamente exigente y comprometida políticamente. Con los años, se ha convertido en un clásico.
