| Summary: | This paper is a review of Guillermo Castán’s novel El orden de las cosas [The Order of Things], which narrates the repressive regime that prevailed in Piarists› classrooms and in other institutional spheres under Franco’s Dictatorship in Spain. The paper intends to offer: 1) an assessment of the novel’s literary qualities, and 2) a favorable view of the novel’s sociological value as a tool to better understand, through its burlesque approach, the Spanish education system, particularly in some Catholic religious schools, in the 1950s and 1960s. |
