| Sumario: | In Tiempo de silencio (1962), Luis Martín Santos parodies discourse employedby the writers of the Generation of 98 when referring to “el mal de España”.Martín Santos reflects on national identity and on the specific circumstancesof post-Civil War Spain, while highlighting the essentialism, fatalism,and contradictions of the “noventayochistas”.
