Esther Tusquets Series

This author brought a powerfully eroticized female voice to post-Civil War Spanish literature. Her works, distinguished by syntactically convoluted and multi-layered prose, employ a relentless stream-of-consciousness reminiscent of Proust and Woolf. By openly addressing lesbianism for the first time in the history of Spanish narrative, her metafictional approach often used emblematic lesbian characters to delineate the limits and possibilities of female sexual autonomy, making her a precursor in this regard.
