Mr. Lorca suffered severe depression and guilt about being a man
who loved other men. It's believed that he died in 1936 when
soldiers dragged him into a field, shot him and tossed his body
into an unmarked grave. Franco's government tried to obliterate
Lorca's memory. His books were prohibited, his name forbidden.
His poetry has been translated into a dozen languages and his
name is known worldwide. |Lorca and Dalí|
