Originally published \u003cstrong data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"228\"\u003ein 1974 clandestinely\u003c\/strong\u003e, the book circulated in its early years through simple stapled photocopies, in a context where male homosexual desire barely found space in literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"411\" data-end=\"747\"\u003eThroughout its poems, the work straightforwardly addresses \u003cstrong data-start=\"466\" data-end=\"489\"\u003edesire between men\u003c\/strong\u003e, the beauty of the male body, and the forms of encounter that marked part of the gay culture of the time. The book articulates this experience through intense and expressive language that challenges the moral, social, and linguistic norms of the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"749\" data-end=\"1190\"\u003eBeyond its theme, the poetry collection has been considered a deeply \u003cstrong data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"870\"\u003etransgressive work in terms of language\u003c\/strong\u003e, built from infringement, disobedience, and the will to position itself on the margins of what is allowed. As \u003cstrong data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1021\"\u003eSergio Fernández Martínez\u003c\/strong\u003e points out, the book presents a critique that is at the same time social, political, and linguistic, confronting both institutionalized values and inherited codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003eThis edition is presented in a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003ebilingual version\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing access to the original text and its translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Letraversal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56866701607256,"sku":"LIB-EL-LE-552","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788412713718.jpg?v=1773066949"}],"url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/collections\/libros-biel-mesquida.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
