About
A Esmorga is a novel by Galician writer Eduardo Blanco Amor from 1959. It tells about a 24-hour drinking spree of a man called Cibrán o Castizo and his two friends Xanciño o Bocas and Aladio Milhomes, in a town called Auria, very similar to real life town Ourense. Cibrán tells his story to the police, trying to show himself in the best possible light. The day contains celebrations, fire and a visit to a brothel.
