- According to Spanish naming customs (see the Wikipedia article on them) this person's last name is the double last name GarcÍa Lorca, the first being his father's first last name and the second the mother's first last name. It should always be alphabetized under "G". However, both in conversation and writing he is usually referred to by the "short name" of Lorca (which would generate an index entry under G, not L).
Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) was a Spanish poet and dramatist who was a hebephile, possibly a pedophile as well, or at least someone who wanted lovers younger than himself (21.when he was 36, for example).
The case of Lorca is especially interesting because:
- He got killed for it.
- Direct information from some of his young friends has been available, especially Philip Cummings (see the Wikipedia article on him).
More on both of these to come.
Conspiracy of silence
Lorca's family
His brother Francisco
Lorca's younger brother Francisco idolyzed Federico. He loved him, everyone could see.
There is no direct evidence of any sexual contact between the two, but indirectly the case is overwhelming. The white heat of the topic of homosexuality in the family is evidence. The silence, the censorship. Lorca was the sort of guy who, out of love, would have tried to seduce his brother.
Apparently Francisco never talked of this with anyone, his whole life.
Francisco published a volume of memoirs, In the Green Morning. With the rest of his family, he moved to the U.S. in 1939, at the end of the Spanish Civil War. He was a professor at Columbia University.
Salvador Dalí. Le chien andalou
Emilio Aladrén. The trip to New York
Philip Cummings, an American queer and ephebe
Rafael Rodríguez Rapún
El público
Morla Lynch's salon
The assassination
Impact of assassination
Rafael Martínez Nadal
Nadal (short name), had, and finally published, what we have of El público: a messy first draft, missing an act.
He was bisexual, pro-pleasure, and for the times was pretty open about it. An important detail about Nadal is that he was on neither of the two sides in the Spanish Civil War.
Sonetos de amor oscuro (Sonnets of Dark Love)
