«Don Julián» is the novel by Juan Goytisolo published in 2001 by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardcover (288 pages, in Spanish).
A narrator exiled in Tangier, hostile to the Spain he had to leave, returns to the figure of don Julián to use it against the myths and values of his country. From a transgressive position, the novel has become a classic that shakes the legacy of the old Christian.
Published in 1970 as Reivindicación del conde don Julián. Second installment of the Álvaro Mendiola trilogy; this edition was revised by Juan Goytisolo and features drawings by Eduardo Arroyo.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in the experimental novel and in the critical revision of national myths.
