«Lorca-Dalí, el amor que no pudo ser» is Ian Gibson's biography of Lorca and Dalí, published by Plaza & Janés in hardback, in Spanish (366 pages).
The book reconstructs the friendship between Lorca and Dalí, two central figures of 20th-century Spain. According to Gibson, Dalí described the relationship as tragic and erotic: because of his heterosexuality, he could not physically reciprocate the passion he aroused in the poet. It also analyses their creative affinities and context.
It belongs to the collection Así fue, la historia rescatada (no. 30) and won the II Premio Así fue 1999. Includes bibliographic references and index.
For readers interested in 20th-century Spanish cultural history and in biographies of Lorca and Dalí.
