Staying at home

Ronald Fraser

  • Federico Garcia Lorca by Ian Gibson
    Faber, 542 pp, £17.50, July 1989, ISBN 0 571 14815 8

In 1973 Ian Gibson published The Death of Lorca, his outstanding investigation into the circumstances, silenced for forty years by the Franco regime, of the poet’s assassination at the insurgent military’s hands in the first month of the Civil War. It is highly fitting, therefore, that Gibson should have now written the life of Lorca, as close to a definitive biography as we are likely to get.
