Memory, Mourning and Melancholia in La lluvia amarilla, by Julio Llamazares

This paper addresses a historical reading of La Iluvia amarilla by Julio Llamazares. In particular, it notes how the novel becomes an anti-hegemonic discourse that redeems the individual and collective identity of the Republican side from the triumphant tales about the Spanish Civil War and economic development during the 1960s. It also analyzes the style and structure of the story, emphasizing dialogue established with Llamazares' poetry.
