La Espana salvaje

A travel book and a memoir, this crazy reconstruction of biographical chapters of a rock star is also a rough and tender reconstruction of biographical episodes of poetry. It is both prose and music. A long love letter from a cosmopolitan writer, who understands that the Spanish mythology of the twentieth and twenty-first century is shaped both by Luis Buñuel, Jim Morrison, Pablo Picasso, as well as Lou Reed. This book suggests that literature is life, tradition, and rock and roll.
