One of my main research goals is to offer more scholarship to the work of contemporary Spanish author, Juan José Millás.  I study metaphors of physical bodies and texts as bodies as the principle ways in which Millasian characters repeatedly meditate on subjectivity.  The delineation of both physical bodies and text affirms his characters’ experiences as subjective, individual, and claustrophobic, and more importantly, highlights embodied politics of contemporary masculinity in Millás’s fictional universes.
