Camilo jose cela's personal experience.

Serra loved literature since she was a child and began to write as early as college. 1935, she published a collection of poems, Wandering in the Light of Day. 1942, the first novel "Pascoe Duarte Family" was published, which became famous and caused a sensation in the literary world. This work is regarded as a new milestone in Spanish literature. In Spanish novels, its influence is second only to Don Quixote. 1984 was rated as one of the top ten best novels in Spanish. It is true that some descriptions in the novel are obviously influenced by naturalism, so they are called "terrorism", which is the shortcoming of this novel.

Since then, Serra has published the novel Ziggy Sanatorium (1943) which reflects the pessimistic and desperate life of patients with lung disease, the novel A New Biography of Little Scorpion (1944) which satirizes the social life in Spain at that time, and the collection of short stories "Floating Clouds" (1945).

195 1 year, Serra's masterpiece Honeycomb, which took five years to write, was published.

After the 1950s, Serra published "A Heart-to-heart Talk between Mrs. Caldwell and her son" (1953), which described a crazy mother writing a letter to her son who died in a shipwreck, showing the pain brought to the people by the civil war, and "Goldilocks" (1955), written in American Spanish, which reflected the scenery and human feelings of Venezuela. Sancamillo (1969), a reflection on the Spanish civil war, reproduces the family conflicts in remote mountainous areas of Spain, and plays Mazzuca (1983) for the dead, looking for a dark career (1977) and the cross of San Andreas (1977). Among them, playing Mazzuca for the dead is an important work of Serra in his later years.

Since 1950s, Serra has also published several collections of short stories, including Controversy about Invention (1953), Windmill (1955) and Eleven Stories about Football (1963).
