«La amante fea» is the erotic novel by Josep Lluís Seguí, published in 1993 by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
A man trapped in an empty existence only feels alive through sex: conjugal duty with Isabel, the memory of Teresa, his dead lover, and the sordid encounters with Nelia, the ugly lover. With a spare, unyielding prose, the novel pays homage to Georges Bataille and his idea of orgasm as a «petite mort».
It is part of the La Sonrisa Vertical collection (no. 85). The manuscript was a finalist for the 15th La Sonrisa Vertical Prize.
Recommended for adult readers interested in erotic fiction and Spanish literary narrative.
