Tackling subjects as varied as Madrid night-life, the necessity of
alcohol, Renaissance art, sex, the importance of scholarship, boys
on motor scooters, the nature of love, Plato, blue jeans,
classicism and rock music, Luis Antonio de Villena (b.1951) is one
of modern Spain's best-known writers. Although far from being
realist, his work engages indirectly with historical phenomena in
surprising and complex ways. This introduction to a provocative and
sophisticated writer situates Villena's creative work in relation
to the contemporary Spanish cultural scene, to 20th-century
homosexual culture and to significant gay and dissident figures of
the past, including Lorca and Luis Cernuda. The author explains how
Villena has developed a radical new aesthetic out of the old raw
materials of love, sex, death, power and the primacy of art and
desire.
