The Barcelona-born writer Luis Goytisolo, the last member of a lineage of writers who renewed contemporary Spanish narrative, died on Sunday at the age of 91 at his rural retreat in Vimbodí, in the Conca de Barberà region, as reported late Monday night by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), an institution of which he had been a member since 1995. Goytisolo is the author of an extensive literary work characterized by its capacity for innovation both formally and narratively. One of his most celebrated literary projects is the monumental tetralogy Antagonía –formed by the volumes Recuento, Los verdes de mayo hasta el mar, The Wrath of Achilles and Theory of Knowledge–, which spans from the Civil War to late Francoism and was a literary milestone for the narrative of the 70s and 80s. His constant search for new literary territories earned him the National Prize for Spanish Literature in 2013 and accolades such as the National Literature Prize in 1993 for Estatuas con palomas.
