Loss of Pedro Antonio de Alarcon in Spanish letters
The New York Evening Post reports the death on July 20 of Pedro Antonio de Alarcon. Born March 10, 1833 in Guadix, Granada, he began early, produced popular tales and later the notable novel El andaló in 1865. His stage work faced censure, and a volunteer stint in O'Donnell's expedition boosted his fame through vivid letters. He retired after 1884, torn by critics and declining health.
