Lorca, Gay Icon
What is a gay icon? Is it Federico García Lorca? This talk explores the ties between the poet, his death, other homosexuals, and being gay as an expression of modernity. Ultimately, what is the relationship between celebrity and being gay and how does it influence our image of Lorca?
As part of the collaboration between the Miguel Delibes Chair, University of Valladolid, and Instituto Cervantes, Noël Valis, writer, translator and professor at Yale University, will present this engaging discussion.
