DIAZ FERNANDEZ, Estrella. Masculine Violence and Homoeroticism: from Mauricio Wacquez to Daniel O'Hara. Anclajes [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.3, pp.49-61. ISSN 1851-4669.  http://dx.doi.org/10.19137/anclajes-2018-2235.

Analysis of a pioneering novel in the representation of male homoeroticism, Ella o el sueño de nadie (1983), by Chilean author Mauricio Wacquez, in contraposition to the short story "Rapsodia metropolitan" (2007), by Barcelonese writer Daniel O'Hara, both published in "La sonrisa vertical" ["Vertical Smile"], one of the most important Hispanic erotic collections of the last quarter of the 20th century. These fictions, focused on the representation of a violent heterodox masculinity -and published almost a quarter of a century apart- and transgressive because of their visibilization of homoerotic practices, are still far from any type of vindication of a minority sexuality.

Keywords : "La sonrisa vertical"; Spanish Literature; Sexual Minorities; 21st Century; Spain.
