A gripping narrative history of Spain's most brilliant and troubled literary family--a tale about the making of art, myth, and legacy--set against the upheaval of the Spanish Civil War and beyond In this absorbing and atmospheric historical narrative, journalist Aaron Shulman takes us deeply into the circumstances surrounding the Spanish Civil War through the lives, loves, and poetry of the Paneros, Spain's most compelling and eccentric family, whose lives intersected memorably with many of the most storied figures in the art, literature, and politics of the time--from Neruda to Salvador Dalí, from Ava Gardner to Pablo Picasso to Roberto Bolaño. Weaving memoir with cultural history and biography, and brought together with vivid storytelling and striking images, The Age of Disenchantments sheds new light on the romance and intellectual ferment of the era while revealing the profound and enduring devastation of the war, the Franco dictatorship, and the country's transition to democracy. A searing tale of love and hatred, art and ambition, and freedom and oppression, The Age of Disenchantments is a chronicle of a family who modeled their lives (and deaths) on the works of art that most inspired and obsessed them and who, in turn, profoundly affected the culture and society around them.

This book is still written by an American, obviously, but it does have some quotes from Spanish poets and soldiers, as well as history. It focuses on Leopoldo Panero, who starts out as a republican during the Civil War and then switches sides and becomes kind of a state poet for the Franco administration, his wife, Felicidad, and their three three sons, Juan Luis, Leopold Maria, and Michi, who are all authors in their own rights. After Leopoldo Sr.'s death the family participates in a Grey Gardens style documentary and that lends the theme of the nature of memory and how we construct our own narrative history to the book.
It made me want to read more about the Spanish Civil War, the Paneros, and also to read more Spanish literature. If anybody has anybody recommendations, ( )
