God works in mysterious ways... and in A Cock-Eyed Comedy Goytisolo takes on the Spanish Catholic church in a book which is both a comedy and a sharp attack on authority and conformity.Father de Trennes is a member of the staunchly conservative right wing Catholic organisation Opus Dei. Although in his case his search is for sex rather than God. Real and imaginary characters including Roland Barthes, the Argentine writer Manuel Puig, and Goytisolo's own lovers engage in spiritual and sexual shenanigans around the world. Meanwhile, AIDS takes its toll on them all.A Cock-Eyed Comedy is written to be read aloud and enjoyed as a funny, transgressive romp. A wonderful book to be dipped into again and again for fun and pleasure. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Goytisolo recovers and delivers a splendid chronicle of Spain through the Inquisition, the Civil War and on to an EU reality while focusing on censorship, orthodoxy and the absence of Church compassion for the scourge of AIDS.
Cock-Eyed Comedy certainly as masterful moments of satire and exposition. It simply doesn't match up well with Goytisolo's better works. (
