Christ versus Arizona turns on the events in 1881 that surrounded the shootout at the OK Corral, where Wyatt . Paul West"Cela is a restless spirit. In him is united a marked fondness for experiment with a provocative attitude.

Christ versus Arizona turns on the events in 1881 that surrounded the shootout at the OK Corral, where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Virgil and Morgan Earp fought the Clantons and the McLaurys. Set against a backdrop of an Arizona influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the westward expansion of the United States, the story is a bravura performance by the 1989 Nobel Prize-winning author. At the same time he can be included in an old Spanish tradition of hilarious grotesquenesswhich is often the other side of despair.

"Published one year before Spanish novelist Camilo José Cela received the Nobel Prize in Literature, this lesser known work is set in the gun-slinging and lawless desert of Arizona circa 1881. Without employing a single period or delineation of a paragraph, Cela paints a dreary portrait of man's condition through the uneducated voice of Wendell L. Espana. The novel makes use of a literary style used by Cela known as objectivismo, a kind of documentary realism introduced in earlier masterpieces such as La familia de Pascual Duarte (The Family of Pascual Duarte, 1942) and La colmena (The Hive, 1951)." As reviewed and included in "The New Essential Guide to Spanish Reading" which is published by America Reads Spanish: a campaign aimed to increase the use and reading of the Spanish language through the thousands of libraries, schools and book stores in the US.

Cheber

With all due respect to one of 20th century's most prominent writers, "Cristo versus Arizona" is a shattering failure. Cela tries to demonstrate and emphasize his virtues as a sarcasm scholar, but instead immortalizes the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in much the same way Sergio Leoni terrorized Clint Eastwood's early film career.
The author rambles on crossroad villains, murderous prostitutes and countless alien characters in a hodgepodge of virtual repetitive nonsense. His caricaturesque obsession with violence and voluminosity of odd sexuality is of incurable puberty proportions; likely the postscript of a young man frustrated with a generation constantly castigated and chastened by tenebrous forces.

You haven't read a better blow-your-mind novel like this. Period. CRISTO VERSUS ARIZONA is a properly titled story that roars between solitude, religion, violence and erotica all in one fully charged place.
Since my first reading of the book back in 1991, I wonder which contemporary filmaker will take the risk and help us to understand this epic tale on the big screen. But, on a second though, it's better being helpless on such assimilation. CRISTO VS ARIZONA remains intact on my brain, on every state of life and mind, cutting deeper and deeper.
As it happens on James Joyce and other great written-word craftmen, Jose Cela mantains his control over 250 pages in one enormous paragraph. I've been in Arizona many times and I consider myself an active Christ believer, but, oh, put those two symbolic clouds face to face... Think that you are in front of a goodwill classmates of Spanish literature. Ask'em a simple thesis: to read CRISTO VERSUS ARIZONA and rewrite it on classic, small-paragraph style. Inmediatly after, send a copy to me!
For those Henry Rollins and Jeff Noon fans: Speaking of modern literature, this is violence at its smartest.
