The Spanish Picaresque mode of literature is one that is all but completely removed from the reach of English-speaking readers. However, there have been many great films such as Star Wars, They Live, Willow, and Fight Club where we can see echoes of the wily, mischievous rogues of old Spain. Justin Pickering creates a bridge between two worlds, five centuries, two languages, and several media forms to bring you this typological study on the Spanish "picaro" and his more recent counterparts in popular English language cinema.
