Fiction?

There is a new site up called universolorca. I learned that you can tour the house of Bernarda Alba in a town in the province of Granada. The only problem is that Lorca's Bernarda Alba is a fictional character. I don't understand the urge to see Lorca's works as fact rather than fiction. It just seems so literal minded. Yes, I know that based plays on actual people, but that doesn't make them non-fictional.

  4. So I see. I also saw somewhere that that entity was controversial, not considered responsible by all.

  6. My professor didn't but I never got full details. Now my colleague claims he will get someone from the Casa Museo to give a videoconference. I have not even figured out how many different Casa Museos there are or whether they are fighting among themselves or cooperating.
