Title: Andrea Víctrix Author: Llorenç Villalonga ISBN: 9781916293946 Publisher: Fum d'Estampa Press Published: 2021 Binding: Paperback Language: English Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: Part socio-political essay, part dystopian fiction, Andrea Víctrix presents a shockingly prescient vision of Palma, Mallorca in 2050. In comparing the anonymous narrator's 'traditional' 1960s values with a future society that has done away with family and gender, Villalonga sets up an intriguing interplay between the narrator and the androgynous Andrea Víctrix, so-called Director of Pleasure, in a powerfully satirical, sometimes ironic exploration of contemporary issues such as gender and sexuality, consumerism, environmental disaster and the politics of big business.
