Lorca After Life by Noel Valis, M.A. 鈥70, Ph.D. 鈥75 offers a reflection on Federico Garc铆a Lorca鈥檚 life, his haunting death, and his enduring fame in the modern world. Lorca鈥檚 execution at the start of the Spanish Civil War launched many of the poet鈥檚 afterlives as the people鈥檚 poet, a gay icon, and a fabled member of a dead poets鈥 society. Andr茅s Zamora of Vanderbilt University described the book as: 鈥淎 galaxy of critical insights into the cultural shock waves circling and crisscrossing Lorca鈥檚 execution and his unknown resting place, there is not a single book on Lorca like this one.鈥 (Yale University Press, 2022)
