Part socio-political essay, part dystopian fiction, Andrea Víctrix
presents a shockingly prescient vision of Palma, Mallorca in 2050. In
comparing the anonymous narrator's 'traditional' 1960s values with a
future society that has done away with family and gender, Villalonga
sets up an intriguing interplay between the narrator and the androgynous
Andrea Víctrix, so-called Director of Pleasure, in a powerfully
satirical, sometimes ironic exploration of contemporary issues such as
gender and sexuality, consumerism, environmental disaster and the
politics of big business.
