A column published by ABC España under the title 'Hace Federico' credits 'La bola negra' with bringing Federico García Lorca into vivid contemporary relevance.
The title reproduces an expression another poet used about Lorca — 'hace Federico' — spoken whenever the poet appeared, according to the column. It adds that posterity has never quite let Lorca be considered dead, and that the talent of the Generation of 27 is shortly to be celebrated.
The column argues that Lorca has to be rediscovered daily, as if he had arrived yesterday from New York.
