«El gallego y su cuadrilla» is Camilo José Cela's book of sketches, published by Destino Ediciones in paperback (291 pages, in Spanish).
The book, divided into six parts, brings together what Cela called «apuntes carpetovetónicos»: a gallery of types from his time, such as literary folk, barbers, spinsters, vagabonds and professors. With a casual style and an esperpento-like gaze, Cela satirizes human pretentiousness and insignificance with a humorous and critical vision.
The book belongs to the Destinolibro collection as number 27. Cela was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1989.
For readers interested in short narrative and social satire with a marked ironic tone.
Camilo José Cela y Trulock, 1st Marquess of Iria Flavia was a Spanish novelist, poet, story writer and essayist associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
