Prefaced by journalist and activist Rubén Serrano, the work offers a representative sample of the most innovative voices in current LGTBI literature.

The anthology, prefaced by journalist and activist Rubén Serrano, seeks to reflect the diversity of viewpoints within current Spanish LGTBI literature. The texts move through different narrative registers, from the fantastic to the everyday, and are signed by a roster of authors that includes both established narrators and poets exploring the short story genre for the first time. Among the participants are Aixa de la Cruz, Elizabeth Duval, Alana Portero, and Sara Torres, among others. Each story proposes a unique approach to themes such as identity, desire, memory, or sexual dissidence, offering a mosaic of experiences that challenge traditional narrative conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDiversity of LGTBI identities and experiences in contemporary Spain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExploration of sexual and gender dissidence through literary fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eQueer narrative as a tool for representation and visibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNew voices in Spanish literature, with a special presence of poets debuting in short stories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFusion of narrative registers: from the realistic to the fantastic and the symbolic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary LGTBI and queer literature, as well as those looking to discover new narrative voices within the Spanish literary landscape.
