Amor, amor, catástrofe

Synopsis of Amor, amor, catástrofe

«Amor, amor, catástrofe» is the play by Julieta Soria, published by Ediciones Antígona in paperback (92 pages, in Spanish).

In 1979, Harvard's Houghton Library receives letters from Pedro Salinas to Katherine Whitmore with the order to open them twenty years later. Once the deadline is met, the clandestine love between the two emerges, which inspired his trilogy «La voz a ti debida», «Razón de amor» and «Largo lamento». The play recreates that encounter and its impact on Margarita Bonmatí.

First edition published in Madrid in 2021; it belongs to the «Teatro» collection of Ediciones Antígona (no. 181), with a prologue by Ainhoa Amestoy.

For readers of contemporary Spanish theatre and for those who want to learn the real story behind Pedro Salinas's love poetry.
