«El vendedor de naranjas» is the novel by Fernando Fernán Gómez, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
With autobiographical overtones, the novel ironically and movingly reveals the inner workings of Spanish film production in the 1950s: the hardships and atmosphere of those who lived off cinema in Spain. It draws on the legend that the producers of the time were Valencian orange businessmen.
Published in 1986, it belongs to the Selecciones Austral collection, number 147, and includes a prologue by Juan Tébar.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish narrative and the history of Spanish cinema.
Fernando Fernández Gómez, better known as Fernando Fernán Gómez, was a Spanish actor, screenwriter, film director, theater director, novelist, and playwright. Prolific in all these fields, he was elected member of the Royal Spanish Academy in 1998. He was born in Lima, Peru while his mother, Spanish actress Carola Fernán-Gómez, was making a tour in Latin America. He would later use her surname for his stage name when he moved to Spain in 1924.
