Is Lorca a writer of fiction

 Here's another one I will write.  It is called something like: Is Lorca a Writer of Fiction? The idea is really rather simple. The search for real-life models for Lorquian characters leads to a naive epistemological view. His plays and poems are fictional works. Paquita la Coja is not the Bride of Bodas de Sangre. 

The refusal to see Lorca as a writer has significant consequences. 

I like the brutal directness of titles like this. Are Lorca's works, works of fiction? I wrote a poem about this once.
