CANDEL VILA, Xelo. “Las banderas y los sueños se degradan, pero queda la educación sentimental”. El último Luis García Montero. Olivar [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.31, pp.74-74. ISSN 1852-4478.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18524478e074.

In this work I analyze the last books by Luis García Montero -Vista cansada (2008), Un invierno propio (2011), Balada en la muerte de la poesía (2016) and A puerta cerrada (2017)- focusing on the thesis that he raises about the limits between public and private as well as the demand for the humanistic tradition. I am interested in locating these books at a stage in which the progressive skepticism that occurs in the author from Vista cansada (2008) around the world and the loss of democratic values for which he had fought in the eighties is evident. The private opens in these recent books to the social, putting in doubt its limits. However, true to himself, the author shows us with these books that, although dreams and flags degrade, sentimental education remains.
