It's dealt with only indirectly. Camilo José Cela refrained wisely from talking politics in his book! If you'd like to read a Spanish novel about the Spanish civil war I can recommend <a href="http://edith-lagraziana.blogspot.com/2016/09/in-diamond-square-by-merce-rodoreda.html" rel="nofollow"><i>In Diamond Square</i> by Mercè Rodoreada</a> although it also includes also the periods before and after.<br />Thanks for your comment!Edith LaGrazianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885017198423641770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322995747669796194.post-84963662945026985462016-12-03T20:52:01.757+01:002016-12-03T20:52:01.757+01:00I have reading lists for every year from 1940 to t...I have reading lists for every year from 1940 to the present. I always include the Nobel Prize winner of each year and try to read at least one of the winner's books. I did not have any books listed for this author, so you have saved me a lot of time and searching. Thank you! The only novels I have read about the Spanish Civil War were written by non-Spaniards so this one will round out my reading about that period nicely.
