"Camilo José Cela (1916-2002) was a Spanish novelist, poet, essayist, and raconteur associated with the Generation '36 movement, which was a group of Spanish artists working during the Spanish Civil War. In 1943, he became a censor in Francoist Spain, during which his best-known works were produced and were often scrutinized by fellow censors. Cela was awarded the 1989 Nobel Prize in Literature ""for a rich and intensive prose, which with restrained compassion forms a challenging vision of man's vulnerability."" In 1994 he was awarded the Premio Planeta, and in 1996 was ennobled King Juan Carlos I, who gave Cela the hereditary title of Marquess of Iria Flavia in the nobility of Spain. Some of Cela's notable works include The Hive, Boxwood, Those Passing Clouds, The Galician and Christ Versus Arizona."
