Dead or Alive

Comments (0) By Julie Peterson Thursday, Feb 16 2012

Dramatist, poet, and composer Federico García Lorca -- a classically educated Spaniard who was best known for writing about Gypsies and country people, in revered works like Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba -- was quite the bundle of passionate contradictions. The exact circumstances of his death during the Spanish Civil War in 1936 are still clouded in history's mysteries. (No one's even found his remains yet.) Sounds like a prime candidate for hovering around in ghostly pursuit of unfinished business.
