| The Magic Labyrinth |
Max Aub, a Spaniard of French-German-Jewish heritage, lived for 40 years in exile in Mexico during the Franco regime and was a novelist (as well as playwright and short-story writer) whose major prose work, a five-novel series on the Spanish Civil War called The Magic Labyrinth, has never been translated. Aub described it as a desire to do for Spain what Dos Passos' did in The USA Trilogy. One literary critic called it "the Spanish War and Peace." As a translator, I have many sample chapters from these works and for many years have been trying to interest a U.S. publisher in taking on the translation of at least one novel from this work.
