In graduate school there was a parodist who wrote a play called El ¿huh? de las niñas y el ¡ja! de Boy-oh-Boy and a tract called La rebelión de las personas non gratas. The personas non gratas were, as we knew from other parodies, the students. I cannot remember the Unamuno parody but there has to have been one.
In the modern period I could only tolerate Larra, Pérez Galdós and García Lorca, finding everyone else to be insufferably pedantic and dull. Right now I am reading Javier Cercas and he is mildly entertaining. These are his articles in El País and I am interested in them.
I think the teaching and research divide people see is really a divide between service teaching in multisection courses with common textbooks, and everything else.
