U.S.A.: New Directions, 2002. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Translated from the Spanish by Patricia Haugaard. Awarded the 1989 Nobel Prize for Literature, Cela, now well on in his eighties, is yet as crafty and craftful as ever. Boxwood, which can perhaps best be described as a non-novel, has none of the structural signposts readers generally expect: there is no exposition, no crux, no denouement. Instead we have a mix of folklore, tradition, superstition, autobiographical snatches, cooking directions, a litany of nautical disasters on the coast of Deathships from afar with cargoes of oranges, typewriters, iron ore, oil, spiceselements of nature both cruel and beautiful, of man both saint and sinner, whales, witches, mermaids, ghosts, the exquisite, the crass all against the background of Cela's birthplace, Galicia. Camilo Jose Celahas published more than fifty books, including THE FAMILY OF PASCUAL DUARTE, HIVE, and MAZURKA FOR TWO DEAD MEN. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in navy blue cloth boards, in as new, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} L122

New York. 2002. New Directions. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0811214974. Translated from the Spanish by Patricia Haugaard. 211 pages. hardcover. Cover Illustration by Juan Pablo Rada. Jacket design by Semadar Megged. keywords: Literature Spain Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER - BOXWOOD, which can perhaps best be described as a non-novel, has none of the structural signposts readers generally expect: there is no plot, no crux, no denouement. Instead we have a mix of folklore, tradition, superstition, autobiographical snatches, cooking directions, a litany of nautical disasters on the Coast of Death - ships from afar with cargoes of oranges, typewriters, iron ore, oil, spices - elements of nature both cruel and beautiful, of man both saint and sinner, whales, witches, mermaids, ghosts, the exquisite, the crass, all against the background of Cela's birthplace, Galicia. In one of the early exchanges between reader and author that occur randomly in the text the reader understandably asks: ‘Isn't this getting a little jumbled? ~' ‘Just a shade jumbled.' ‘Like life itself?' ‘Yes, though I try not to say so.' Reader bear with him. There's gold to mine! Camilo Jose Cela was born in Galicia in 1916 - his father, Spanish; his mother, English. He studied law, medicine, and philosophy in London and Madrid and in his younger years worked as a journalist and an actor. Cela published over fifty books - among them The Family of Pascual Duarte, HIVE, and MAZURKA FOR TWO DEAD MEN. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1989 and died in 2002. Patricia Haugaard lives in Ireland and has translated a number of books from the Spanish. She is very familiar with Galicia and its coastal area. ‘If there is any Spanish novelist who deserves the Nobel Prize on the merit of experimentation alone, it is without doubt Camilo Jose Cela.' - Miguel Ugarte, The Nation. inventory #32373 ISBN: 0811214974.
