Miguel de Gila: THE BOOK OF GILA

Anthology, BLACKIE BOOKS, (March 2019).

The life and works of an ingenious author who overcame poverty, hunger, war, death and depression during the worst moments of the 20thcentury Spain, with only one weapon to defend himself: laughter. Edited and selected by Jorge de Cascante.

“Solemnity is to blame for all human misfortune. If all people knew how to laugh at themselves, there would be no wars, violence, or frustration. Life goes by in the blink of an eye; let’s not make it too serious of a matter.” Miguel Gila
