Book synopsis

This book proposes that Spanish author Luis Martín-Santos' work focuses on the effects of patriarchy in men framed by hegemonic masculinity, to actively contribute in freeing both men and women from the yoke of patriarchy. It aims for a new resonance of Luis Martín-Santos. It analyzes the influence of Heidegger, Freud and Sartre in Martín-Santos' psychiatric essays to further apply the latter to his fictional works: the novel Tiempo de silencio 'Time of Silence' , the collection of short stories Apólogos , and the posthumous fragment Tiempo de destrucción 'Time of Destruction' . It demonstrates that alongside the political critique of Franco's dictatorship, Martín-Santos' creative writings are an attempt to destroy the prevalent masculine myths of Western patriarchy, and a proposal to create new myths for the future.
