"I Could Have Saved Lorca" reconstructs the life of Manuel Bonilla, the author's grandfather, a farmer and shepherd from the Alpujarra who becomes a clandestine smuggler during the Spanish Civil War. The novel explores how the military uprising drags him into the horror of the assassination of the poet Federico García Lorca, an event that will mark his life forever. Through his grandson's search, the story of Manuel Bonilla takes us from the Alpujarra to present-day Barcelona, in a journey that resonates in the sensibility of any reader of contemporary Spain. This work rescues the anonymous life of a man who, like many, was swept away by the ideals of a turbulent era.
Victor Manuel Amela Bonilla, better known as Víctor Amela is a Spanish writer and journalist present in several media. It is one of the co-creators of the section La contra at La Vanguardia, where he has published more than 1,800 interviews in 15 years.
