The Assassination of García Lorca: a revised, updated, expanded version of one of the key works by Hispanist Ian Gibson, on the occasion of Federico García Lorca’s 120th birthday. After Cambodia, Spain is currently the nation with the highest number of missing people in mass graves: more than 115,000 victims of Franco’s regime, among them Federico García Lorca. Throughout the following decades, much more was discovered about the circumstances surrounding the persecution and death of poet and playwright García Lorca, as well as thousands of other victims of repression in Granada. Ian Gibson has incorporated all of this into this meticulous update to his research, coinciding with the 120th birthday of the author of Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding).
Ian Gibson is an Irish author and Hispanist known for his biographies of the poet Antonio Machado, the artist Salvador Dalí, the bibliographer Henry Spencer Ashbee, the filmmaker Luis Buñuel, and particularly his work on the poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, for which he won several awards, including the 1989 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography. His work, La represión nacionalista de Granada en 1936 y la muerte de Federico García Lorca was banned in Spain under Franco.
