«El callejón del gato: retratos al vitriolo» is the book of satirical portraits by Jaime Campmany, published by Espasa in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Jaime Campmany uses the distorting mirrors of central Madrid's Callejón del Gato as a metaphor to portray, with irony and sharpness, people he knew and dealt with. Some pass through the concave mirror, which slims them; others, through the convex one, which fattens and coarsens them. The result is a critical gallery of twentieth-century Spanish society.
Published in 1999 in the Espasa Hoy collection, it brings together biographies of twentieth-century Spaniards and includes an index.
For readers of biographical essays and social chronicle interested in twentieth-century Spain.
