| biography:
| Humorous novelist, essayist, film director, and playwright, born in Madrid, Spain. His five novels are Don Clorato de Potasa (1929, subtitled Andanzas de un hombre que se reía mucho de todo); Frente de Madrid (1942), a documentary deriving much of its interest from its portrayal of post-Civil War attitudes; the humorous middle-class novel La familia Mínguez (1947); the satire on the film industry Producciones García, S.A. (1956); and the Chaplinesque La piedrecita angular (1957). Among his collections of short stories are Eva y Adán (1926), Música de fondo (1936), and El día más largo de Monsieur Marcel (1966). His best play is El baile (1952), and his Poemas were published in 1967. |
