«Carta al rey de España» is Fernando Arrabal's open letter to King Juan Carlos I, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (134 pages, in Spanish).
Arrabal writes from a state of astonishment to lay before the monarch the social, political and cultural problems he attributes to the Spain of his time. In response, he proposes a 'modern disentailment': selling assets such as Las Meninas (without their leaving Spain) to fund citizens' urgent needs.
Published in 1995 in the Espasa Hoy collection, it continues the series of open letters Arrabal has addressed to Franco, Fidel Castro and José María Aznar.
For readers interested in 1990s Spain or in the epistolary side of Fernando Arrabal's work.
