Abstract
SCHMIDT-WELLE, Friedhelm. La lluvia amarilla o las hojas del olvido. Olivar [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.21, pp.34-42. ISSN 1852-4478.
This article examines the novel La lluvia amarilla by Julio Llamazares, highlighting the representation of memory and forgetfulness (or the repression of memory, in some case). It is shown that writing on memory is not one-dimensional, and that Llamazares not only represents it but reflects his own process of memory and forgetfulness, and its complexity. What at first sight seems a fatalistic Neo-romantic novel is, in fact, an insight on oral memory in the perspective of marginalized countrymen and regions during both the Franquist regime and the modernizing transition.
Keywords : Oral memory; Modernity; Franquist regime; Novel; Julio Llamazares.
