Lorca and the Black Ball

Fourteen mornings on the world that made Federico García Lorca: the irrigated plain outside Granada, the deep song of Andalusia, the liberal schools that trained a generation, the plays he could not stage, and the drama about homosexuality he planned to call The Black Ball. It ends where that world did, in the first weeks of the Spanish Civil War, at a ravine outside the city and a grave nobody has found.

It opens with

  1. The plain that fed Granada
  2. A city that kept losing
  3. Deep song is older than flamenco

The rest stays hidden — that's the point. Nobody sees the plan after it's accepted, including whoever made it.
