«Carajicomedia» is the novel by Juan Goytisolo, published by Seix Barral in paperback (249 pages, in Spanish).
A 16th-century friar, rewarded by Isabella the Catholic with the proceeds of four brothels, stars in the original Carajicomedia from the early 1500s. Goytisolo brings him back to life in the year 2000 to satirize the Church, literature, and contemporary Spain, and in passing parodies himself with a freedom reminiscent of Don Quixote.
This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection; the full title of the work is «Carajicomedia: de Fray Bugeo Montesino y otros pájaros de vario plumaje y pluma».
For fans of Juan Goytisolo and experimental, satirical Spanish narrative.
