Abstract

Lorenzo Varela is known for his poetic facet both in Galician and Spanish and less so for his critical reviews. In this study we will discover his more ironic and humorous nature as seen in his participation in the magazine Correo Literario (1943-1945) published during his Argentinian exile His acrid comments written in previous publications gave free rein to this magazine. Furthermore, it was his ingenious blunt words that made this publication and the following one personal and original, directed to the contemporary culture and especially to Franco's Spain.
