Francisco Nieva

    Francisco Nieva was an influential Spanish playwright and novelist whose work offered a vigorous and vitalistic reaction against the mediocrity of post-war art. His dramatic output, often characterized by baroque language and scenography, can be broadly categorized into "furious theatre" and "theatre of farce and calamity." Drawing inspiration from figures like Valle-Inclán, Nieva crafted a unique universe that extended into his imaginative prose. His narrative works often feature the adventures of the Galician knight Cambicio de Santiago, continuing his distinctive literary world.
