In 'Autobiography of General Franco', Manuel Vázquez Montalbán introduces us to a writer on the verge of retirement who receives a peculiar assignment: to write the autobiography of General Franco himself. Despite the sarcasm that the idea produces, the writer accepts the challenge and begins to write as if he were Franco, although he soon finds himself unable to avoid replying to the character. The result is an open novel where history and fiction are mixed, and where Franco and his enemies become literary characters. A work that represents Vázquez Montalbán's great settling of accounts with the dictator and a monument to anti-Francoism.
Manuel Vázquez Montalbán was a prolific Spanish writer from Barcelona: journalist, novelist, poet, essayist, anthologue, prologist, humorist, critic and political prisoner as well as a gastronome and an FC Barcelona supporter.
