Lo importante de tener muchas cosas que recordar es ir a algún sitio a recordarlas, ¿comprendes? Tienes que detenerte. No has estado en ninguna parte hasta que no vuelves a casa. Eso es lo que intento decir. - Dosflores.

Carmen reviewed Samarkanda ; El hotelito by Antonio Gala (Selecciones Austral ;)
Review of 'Samarkanda ; El hotelito' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Antonio Gala introduces us to 5 women who chat, argue, reconcile, etc. at the hotelito. These women are representations of different autonomous communities: Galicia (Carmiña), Andalusia (Rocío), Madrid (Paloma), Catalonia (Montserrat) and the Basque Country (Begoña). As a result of this representation, the play introduces us to a double reality: the current story and the one the characters live in their allegorical function.
The country (el hotelito) is where they all live but they are selling it to a foreign buyer. Finally, after many disputes, they decide to keep it and continue living together since they realize they need each other.
This play shows politics from a humorous point of view: folklore, songs, gastronomy, travels, languages, etc. At times I must admit that it was a bit too heavy, but I found it a very intriguing and curious way of explaining and representing Spanish politics and history.

Samarkanda tells the story of Bruno and Diego, two brothers who reunite after seven years. These brothers talk about life, their passions, and ambitions; and almost declare their romance.
After a brief episode of running away, Bruno returns to Diego´s house with Sally, who ends up falling in love with Diego. We also learn about Bruno's drug habit and how he is being chased by gangsters.
When they (Bruno and Diego) finally solve their problems, find peace and refuge, the gangsters find them, and eventually, Diego is shot to death.
If I'm honest, this play was not for me. I must confess that I didn't like the plot. I couldn't empathize with the characters, and how Gala deals with some issues didn't convince me. To clarify, it's not a bad piece of work; it's just not for me.
