In Makbara Juan Goytisolowidely considered Spains greatest living writeragain dazzles the reader with his energetic stylistic prose which he himselfcompares to a snake cunning sly sinuous. But the themes in Makbara areperhaps more universal than in his earlier works. Makbara is full of its ownkind of warmth humor and love. After all makbara is an Arab word referringto the spot in North African cemetaries where young couples meet for romanticencounters. Sex for Goytisolo is clearly the greatest cosmic joke the greatleveller. Sex he says is above all freedom. «
