Moons of New York, recalls the trip that Federico García Lorca made to New York, where he stayed for nine months, which were to prove fundamental in his personal and literary development. Thanks to the assistance of Fernando de los Ríos, who invited Lorca to accompany him on his trip to the United States, the poet leaves Spain for the first time. After achieving his first literary successes with Gypsy Ballads and Mariana Pineda, García Lorca is longing to take some time out and to forget the unhappy love affair with the sculptor Emilio Aladrén and the criticism of his friends from the university residence, Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel. Guided by experts such as Ian Gibson, Christopher Maurer, Laura García Lorca, Antonio Muñoz Molina and Luis Antonio de Villena, among others, we follow the trail of the poet from Granada through the streets of New York, recalling his days at Columbia University and his long nights in the jazz clubs of Harlem.
