Valentín Paz-Andrade (Vigo, 1972) wrote of José Rodríguez de Vicente, Joselín, that ‘many years after his death in a foreign land, the memory of Joselín in Galicia remains as alive as ever. Accounts of his storytelling still abound. His work rises tall over the ashes of the man he was, his captivating charm and playful intelligence, his love of Galicia and pride in this land. It is not just the psychological insight of his work, or the humour and sarcasm, his stories and the telling of them... It’s also what he did for the language, the way he helped to raise it out of itself, to reach a status and audience it might not otherwise have had.’

This book and CD edition contains a biography of Joselín, together with the author’s collected works: 27 stories (including 23 recordings recovered by Ramón Otero Pedrayo), and two comedies (with analysis by Laura Tato Fontaíña).
