The Painted Islands: the Canaries through its literature

The Canary archipelago, between insularity and cosmopolitanism, roots and travels, with its broad cultural and linguistic mix, has generated a rich and multifaceted literature, marked by lyricism and irony, intimacy and imagination. Anelio Rodríguez (Santa Cruz de la Palma, 1963), narrator, essayist, poet and painter, is one of his clearest, most empathetic and original voices, capable of writing an illustrated history of the world about his family.
