Memory and Spatiality in Post-Millennial Spanish Narrative

Focusing on literary texts produced from 2000 to 2009, Lorraine Ryan examines the imbrication between the preservation of Republican memory and the transformations of Spanish public space during the period from 1931 to 2005. Accordingly, Ryan analyzes the spatial empowerment and disempowerment of Republican memory and identity in Dulce Chacón s Cielos de barro, Ángeles López s Martina, la rosa número trece, Alberto Méndez s Los girasoles ciegos, Carlos Ruiz Zafón´s La sombra del viento, Emili Teixidor s Pan negro, Bernardo Atxaga s El hijo del acordeonista, and José María Merino s La sima.

Yet, despite the egalitarian dream at the heart of its founding, the Republican Party quickly became mired in a fundamental identity crisis. Would it be the party of democratic ideals? Or would it be the party of moneyed interests? In the century and a half since, Republicans have vacillated between these two poles, with dire economic, political, and moral repercussions for the entire nation.
