"Espera, ponte así": Eroticism and the Andreu Martín’s Work

Abstract

Andreu Martín is one of the most important crime fiction’s authors in Spain, since he started his literary career in the late 1970’s. However, Martín won the Sonrisa Vertical Prize –an international prize for erotic novel– for Espera, ponte así. In this paper we analyze why an author specialist in crime fiction writes an erotic novel in order to present it to the award that finally won. Furthermore, we analyze if this novel implies a break with his production, or if, on the contrary, it is the continuation of Martín’s topics and motives in a different genre.
