In 'Lorca, poeta maldito', Francisco Umbral offers a revealing and distinct vision of Federico García Lorca, one of the most important authors of the 20th century. Umbral explores Lorca's adherence to the great cursed races of the West, such as gypsies, blacks, and homosexuals, as well as his psychological doubling and his 'radical tragicism'. The biography culminates with Lorca's premature and brutal death, which consolidates his figure as a 'cursed' in the deepest sense of the term. This work offers a unique perspective on the life and legacy of the poet.

Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
