OverviewThis book features extended conversations with Spanish filmmaker Luis Bunuel (1900-1983) and interviews with his family members, friends and colleagues--including Salvador Dali, Louis Aragon and Fernando Rey--conducted by Max Aub in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Notorious for inventing fanciful versions of his life and his creative output, Bunuel was hard put to deceive the astute Max Aub, who shared Bunuel's background in Spain, in Paris during the Spanish Civil War, and in Mexico, where they were friends and collaborators. Originally published in Spain in 1985, this translated (the first in English) and expanded edition (with several significant interviews and a detailed index not found in the original) provides a detailed picture of Bunuel's life and art. Extensive notes contextualize the conversations and acknowledge the discoveries of recent studies on Bunuel.

Author InformationMax Aub (1903–1972), was a prolific Spanish-Mexican novelist, playwright, critic and screenwriter. His best known novels are part of El laberinto mágico (The Magic Labyrinth), centered on the Spanish Civil War. Active in the Republican cause, he was imprisoned in forced labor camps after General Franco’s victory. He finally escaped from a camp in Algeria and spent the rest of his life, like Buñuel, in exile in Mexico. Julie Jones, a professor emerita at the University of New Orleans, has published widely on the Spanish American writers of the “Boom,” with a focus on Buñuel’s work in numerous articles for such journals as Cineaste and Cinema Journal.
