«Oficio de tinieblas 5» is the experimental novel by Camilo José Cela, published in 1973 in paperback (274 pages, in Spanish).
The subtitle defines it as a «novela de tesis escrita para ser cantada por un coro de enfermos» (thesis novel written to be sung by a choir of the sick). Between history, mythology, religion and sex, it builds a tremendous and esperpento-like universe with fragmentary prose: irremediable solitude, lack of communication, Eros and Thanatos, and the exploration of a hidden and surreal world.
The book belongs to the Libros de Bolsillo Noguer collection, number 35.
Camilo José Cela y Trulock, 1st Marquess of Iria Flavia was a Spanish novelist, poet, story writer and essayist associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
