«El blocao» is the novel by José Díaz Fernández about the Moroccan war, published by Viamonte in 1998 in paperback (122 pages, in Spanish).
The work recreates the experience of Spanish soldiers posted to Morocco, where life at the military outpost and the horror of the front dehumanize the characters until they become «vertical corpses». Written with avant-garde narrative techniques, it alternates choral and individual scenes to denounce the absurdity and misery of colonial war, and connects with the European pacifist tradition of the interwar period.
First edition, number 6 of the Reencuentros collection, with a prologue by José Esteban. Text in Spanish.
For readers interested in Spanish avant-garde narrative and the historical memory of the Moroccan war.
