«El deseo» is the contemporary fiction novel by Sophie Fontanel, published by Lumen in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Sophie, a Parisian tired of empty sexual encounters, decides to wait from solitude for desire to renew itself. Her renunciation baffles friends and family, who see it as something unusual. The novel reflects on a society that turns emotions into merchandise and pushes people to consume sex, against falsely progressive attitudes.
It was originally published in French as L'Envie in 2011; this Spanish edition appeared on April 26, 2012.
A read for those seeking contemporary narrative about female intimacy, emotional relationships, sexuality and feminism.
