Fiction
The Painter of Dishonour
Pedro Calderón de la Barca's play, in this Oberon Books translation by David Johnston, centers on an aging painter who discovers his young wife's lover has returned from the dead. The plot is baroque even by Spanish Golden Age standards, but Calderón uses the convolutions to examine honor, jealousy, and the violence men commit to protect appearances. The Oberon edition is a working theatre text, with a cast list and minimal notes.For readers who want revenge tragedy dressed in Catholic Spain's theatrical excess.
