Month the Spanish produce literary work (5)
I believe the answer is:
novel
'literary work' is the definition.
(novel is a kind of literary work)
'month the spanish' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'Nov' (abbreviation for November).
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'nov'+'el'='NOVEL'
'produce' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for novel that I've seen before include "Volume of prose fiction" , "Interestingly new; book" , "Fictional work" , "New and intriguing" , "New and strange" .)
