Dictionary of dirty words by Camilo Jose Cela tops Spanish bestseller lists
In Catholic Spain Camilo Jose Cela publishes two dictionaries of street language and profanity selling secretly yet widely. The author defends the terms as functional, not immoral, drawing on a 15 000 volume library and years of study. He avoids Madrid most months on Majorca.
