Born in Elche in 1946, he studied at the Complutense University in Madrid and at the University of London.[2] He taught Spanish literature at the University of Oxford from 1976 to 1979.[3] He drew the attention of critics as a young poet, and was included in a famous 1970 anthology (see Novisimos) of new Spanish poetry by the author José María Castellet. New Cinema in Spain was an account of Spanish cinema from the 2nd World War until 1976.[4] He met with equal success as a writer of prose fiction and non-fiction, winning the Premio Barral in 1973 for his second novel Busto.
He wrote the libretto for the opera El viajero indiscreto by the Spanish composer Luis de Pablo in 1990,[5] and has contributed to the national newspaper El País and the magazine Fotogramas.
He has openly supported homosexuals and people with HIV; he is one of the only Spanish intellectuals to do so.[7]
Homosexual themes in writing
He is openly homosexual and much of his work draws on his gay experience.[8] They are central themes in his two-part narrative La comunión de los atletas and Los Ladrones de niños. In that narrative, he combines homosexuality and pedophilia.
