Camilo José Cela and censorship

María Merino Cabrera, Clerical Support, 1977-2004

In the awards presented to actors many famous people would come along. For instance Camilo José Cela, who was very nice to me. I brought a book of his that I had so that he could sign an autograph, but he didn't want to because he said it was incomplete. In the days of Franco some paragraphs had been removed and he preferred to send me the complete version. And that he did. He signed the one I presented but then he sent me another one with a note that I still have somewhere on a card of his, from when he still lived in the Balearic Islands.
