His most recent incarnation is as an Opus Dei religious leader in present-day Spain, whose conformity Goytisolo delightfully savages. A cast of real people and invented characters, including Roland Barthes, Jean Genet, and Manuel Puig, are mixed up in a literary and historical melting pot.

In 2004 he was awarded the prestigious Juan Rulfo Award for Literature. His most recent books are "State of Siege," "The Garden of Secrets," and "Landscapes of War," |
