These are, Kerrigan writes, "ferocious writers, truculent, badly spoken, foul mouthed." However provocative and disturbing, they are also flat-out dazzling as writers, whose sentences, as rigorous as riotous, lodge like knives in the reader's mind. Cela called himself a proponent of "uglyism," of "nothingism." But he has the knack, the critic AmeÌrico Castro reminds us, of deploying those "nothings and lacks" to construct beauty. The Hive is set over the course of a few days in the Madrid of 1943, not long after the end of the Spanish Civil War and when the regime of General Francisco Franco was at its most oppressive. The book includes more than three hundred characters whose comings and goings it tracks to hypnotic effect. Scabrous, scandalous, and profane, this virtuosic group portrait of a wounded and sick society was first published in Buenos Aires in 1950 because in Spain it could not be published at all. This new translation by James Womack is the first in English to present Cela's masterpiece in uncensored form"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Spain $x History $y 1939-1975 $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Womack, James William, $d 1979- $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cela, Camilo JoseÌ, 1916-2002. $t Hive $d New York : New York Review Books, [2022] $z 9781681376165 $w (DLC) 2021050424 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907010657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD75E5AA010B11EEB5B5CDCD2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
