Fiction
Three Tragedies
Three plays by Federico García Lorca, in the New Directions paperback translated by James Graham-Luján and Richard L. O'Connell and introduced by Lorca's brother. Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba share a landscape of repressed desire, ritual violence, and women hemmed in by custom. The translations aim for theatrical speakability rather than literal fidelity, which suits Lorca's mixture of folk poetry and modernist compression. New Directions' edition is compact and unfussy.For readers who want Spanish twentieth-century tragedy in English that still sounds like it could be staged tomorrow.
