  Cela, Camilo José Criticism and Essays   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Considered the most important prose writer of contemporary Spain, Cela was best known for his stylistically diverse works of fiction that chronicle the political, social, and psychological legacy of the Spanish Civil War.
Cela was born on May 11, 1916, in the small town of Iria-Flavia in the Galacian region of Spain.
Despite Cela's early affiliation with the Falange, the official political party of fascist Spain, the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco frequently banned his provocative works and attacked his literary periodical, Papeles de Son Armadans, for publishing the works of authors condemned by the dictatorship.

 Famous Hispanics: Camilo José Cela
Camilo José Cela is probably the most charismatic of all Spanish-speaking authors and playwrights.
He is the father of the "tremendismo" literary movement and his style covers the gamut of modern narrative.
He uses lineal develoment, flashbacks, the use of the subconscious incorporated in the text, and as little as one protagonist (Pascual Duarte), or as many as 296 (La Colmena).

 Amazon.ca: San Camilo-1936 - C: Books: Camilo Jose Cela,John H. R. Polt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
By general agreement, San Camilo, 1936 is the best novel of this Nobel laureate's later career; it's also his most daunting.
Cela's constitutional pessimism (an amalgam of venery, political cynicism, and astonishing mood- changes) sweeps everyone into the same tossed-about boat; and the effect achieved is probably the one that was wanted: we see people very large in their private lives turned utterly small and interchangeable by public life, revolt, and death.
Yet when Franco and his generals revolt and the militias form in response and everyone must produce identities to anyone with a gun who asks for them, suddenly the book becomes very moving and shocking: the scatter of characters begins to diminish by murder, and names we were tripping over stop showing up altogether.

 Amazon.ca: The Hive: Books: Camilo Jose Cela   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Cela's novel depicts the hardship borne by the lower-middle class following the Spanish Civil War.
In "The Hive", a most appropriate title, Cela recreates the everyday life of Madrid in the 1940's, centered around a small cafe and the life of its employees and clients.
It is enjoyable to read and nice to follow the various characters, but Cela will remind the astute reader in a very subtle fashion, but an unequivocal one, that this is Franco's Spain, an isolated universe of political peril, giving this novel a second tier, a dark cloud which overhangs the proceedings.

 Understanding Camilo José Cela   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
She shows that in addition to being unequivocally Spanish in their concerns, characters, and imagery the novels speak to the larger world with their compendium of insights into the most basic human needs, desires, and fears.
Drawing upon Cela's childhood, participation in the Spanish Civil War, and life in Spain during and after Franco's dictatorship, Charlebois shows that in spite of the repression that beset his homeland during so much of his career, Cela successfully developed his penchant for technical experimentation and creative renewal.
In addition to identifying his favored stylistic devices and thematic concerns, she provides close readings of the novelist's textured discourses, which bristle with fragmentation and ambiguity, hilarity and profanity, iconoclasm and alienation.
