Books
The Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, murdered by Falangists in 1936, finds himself in an inferno that somehow resembles Breughel's 'Tower of Babel'. He sits alone in a small theatre in this private hell, viewing scenes from his own life over & over & over. When two more Lorcas appear, the first middle-aged, the other an irascible octogenarian, the poet faces a nightmarish confusion of alternative identities & destinies.
