NOTES

A picaresque allegory of the Spanish Civil War pays homage to the classless society that might have been. With his capricious behavior and detachable head, the protagonist--a member of one of Brazil's indigenous tribes--parodies the Enlightenment concept of the noble savage as he investigates a civilization upended by conflict. Set against a landscape peopled by generals, priests, conquistadors, poets, witches, and nuns, The Novel of the Tupinamba Indian embodies E.F. Granell's wartime experiences, transforming them through a lush and incendiary surrealist imagination. Painter, writer, musician, socialist, and Spanish Civil War veteran Eugenio F. Granell (1912-2001) was a leading figure of the post-World War II international surrealist movement
