Overview
- Media retrospectives mark the December 8 centenary of the Salamanca-born writer, who died in 2000.
- Critics reiterate her stature as a leading 20th‑century Spanish author, citing major honors including the Premio Café Gijón (1954), Premio Nadal (1957), Premio Nacional de Narrativa (1978) and the 1988 Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras.
- Key novels resurfacing in the tributes include Entre visillos, El cuarto de atrás and Caperucita en Manhattan, noted for their focus on memory, interior life and the postwar condition of women.
- The commemorations elevate her poetic work, with renewed attention to A rachas (1976), Poemas posteriores (1986) and the collected Después de todo / Poesía a rachas (1993), as editors recall how Hiperión brought her verse to print.
- Coverage underscores biographical and transatlantic threads—marriage and later separation, the loss of her daughter in 1985, and lectures in the United States at Yale, Barnard College and the University of Virginia—that shaped her voice.
