Juan Goytisolo (b. 1931) is the most famous Spanish prose writer of the post-war generation. Before the Curtain is his farewell book: reflections on time and the death that lurks in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Goytisolo was always at the center of political battles and, like his friend Jean Genet, supported the oppressed. He fought against the Franco regime, against “all varieties of fundamentalism and nationalism,” and after a trip to Chechnya he became one of the most influential supporters of the Chechen resistance in Europe. He also recalls the war in the Caucasus in the book “Before the Curtain.”
