Juan the Landless by Juan Goytisolo
Juan the Landless completes Goytisolo's great trilogy of novels, which begins with Marks of Identity and continues with Count Julian. Each novel represents another facet of Goytisolo impassioned critique of Spanish culture and history. Juan the Landless marks a turning-point, however, from the expression of violent hostility to an exclusionary conception of the Hispanic world, to a loving celebration of the Muslim contribution to Western civilization. The major theme of Juan the Landless is exile; Juan is both landless and timeless, but it is also a vision of exile overcome in a more inclusive conception of civilization.
