Camilo José Cela y Trulock was born 11 May 1916, became a Spanish novelist, poet, story writer and essayist, and aligned himself with the Generation of '36 movement that shaped literature after Spain's rupture. His prose was rich, intensive, and pitched at the exposed nerve of human fragility. In 1989 the Nobel Prize in Literature arrived, citing that restrained compassion and unflinching eye. He died 17 January 2002, having been named 1st Marquess of Iria Flavia.
