Google dedicates a doodle to honor the 100th Birthday of a Spanish author Carmen Laforet. She is famous for her no-frills, realist prose. Carmen Laforet wrote in the period after the Spanish Civil War.

Her works contributed to the school of Existentialist Literature and her first novel Nada continued the Spanish tremendismo literary style begun by Camilo José Cela with his novel, La familia de Pascual Duarte. She received the Premio Nadal in 1944.
