Description
"Picaresque novel of the Spanish Civil War written by one of the most important post-WWII members of the Surrealist Movement. Written by Galician surrealist artist and communist revolutionary E.F. Granell, The Novel of the Tupinamba Indian is a picaresque, Cervantes-influenced allegory of the Spanish Civil War.
