...began with the Spanish Civil War. At the age of three he saw corpses in the streets of Madrid, an omen of the dread commonplaces that would haunt his boyhood. Though his mother was a militant left-wing journalist, the Communists shortly clapped her into jail. His father, a social-climbing Frenchman who detested his wife's politics, had left for France before the war. But when the Loyalists lost, mother and son threw themselves on his untender mercies.
