Article Title：Desire and seduction: The fiction of Olga Guirao
Abstract：
Desire and seduction, hallmarks of epistolary literature, are foregrounded in the novels of Barcelona-born Olga Guirao. Mi querido Sebastian, which consists of a single letter, focuses on homosexuality and incest. The alternating monologues of Adversarios admirables explore masculine and feminine versions of desire within the context of a deteriorating marriage. Carta con diez anos de retraso, through the medium of an e-mail correspondence between two writers, highlights difference and takes stock of cultural changes at the close of the twentieth century.
