«Yo y él» is the novel by Alberto Moravia, published by Seix Barral in paperback (313 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Federico, an Italian screenwriter trying to make a name for himself in movies while dealing with his own virility, which he names Federicus Rex. Amid comic situations and sexual entanglements, Moravia reflects on desire, identity, and the tension between reason and instinct.

Suitable for readers of contemporary Italian fiction seeking satirical humor and spicy entanglements.
Alberto Pincherle, known by his pseudonym Alberto Moravia, was an Italian novelist and journalist. His novels explored matters of modern sexuality, social alienation and existentialism. Moravia is best known for his debut novel Gli indifferenti and for the anti-fascist novel Il conformista, the basis for the film The Conformist (1970) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Other novels of his adapted for the cinema are Agostino, filmed with the same title by Mauro Bolognini in 1962; Il disprezzo, filmed by Jean-Luc Godard as Le Mépris ; La noia (Boredom), filmed with that title by Damiano Damiani in 1963 and released in the US as The Empty Canvas in 1964 and La ciociara, filmed by Vittorio De Sica as Two Women (1960). Cédric Kahn's L'Ennui (1998) is another version of La noia.
