Cover Illustration by Juan Pablo Rada. Jacket design by Semadar Megged. keywords: Europe Spain Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - BOXWOOD, which can perhaps best be described as a non-novel, has none of the structural signposts readers generally expect: there is no plot, no crux, no denouement. Instead we have a mix of folklore, tradition, superstition, autobiographical snatches, cooking directions, a litany of nautical disasters on the Coast of Death - ships from afar with cargoes of oranges, typewriters, iron ore, oil, spices - elements of nature both cruel and beautiful, of man both saint and sinner, whales, witches, mermaids, ghosts, the exquisite, the crass, all against the background of Cela's birthplace, Galicia. In one of the early exchanges between reader and author that occur randomly in the text the reader understandably asks: �Isn't this getting a little jumbled? ~' �Just a shade jumbled.' �Like life itself?' �Yes, though I try not to say so.' Reader bear with him. There's gold to mine! Camilo Jose Cela was born in Galicia in 1916 - his father, Spanish; his mother, English. He studied law, medicine, and philosophy in London and Madrid and in his younger years worked as a journalist and an actor. Cela published over fifty books - among them The Family of Pascual Duarte, HIVE, and MAZURKA FOR TWO DEAD MEN. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1989 and died in 2002. Patricia Haugaard lives in Ireland and has translated a number of books from the Spanish. She is very familiar with Galicia and its coastal area. �If there is any Spanish novelist who deserves the Nobel Prize on the merit of experimentation alone, it is without doubt Camilo Jose Cela.' - Miguel Ugarte, The Nation. inventory #32373
