For 45 years the expatriate Goytisolo has been both widely acknowledged as Spain's greatest living writer and its most scabrous critic. This two-volume autobiography, first published in the 1980s, broke new ground in Spanish letters with its introspective sexual and emotional honesty.
Über den Autor
Born in 1931, Juan Goytisolo went into voluntary exile in 1956 and has never returned to live in Spain. A bitter opponent of the Franco regime, his early novels were banned in his native country. He divided his time between Paris and Marrakesh until the death of his wife, Monique Lange, at which time he moved permanently to Marrakesh. Peter Bush has translated nine books by Juan Goytisolo, including "Exiled from Almost Everywhere" and "Juan the Landless," as well as novels by other prominent Spanish and Latin American writers.
