Abstract

The novel Habitación para hombre solo (Room for a Single Man) reveals the struggling existential trajectory of an exiled Spaniard defeated by adverse life circumstances. Through the figure of the main character, Serrano Poncela reflects, with an amazing precision, the process of alenation suffered by he who was struck by the misfortune of exile. The traumas provoked by this experience will be responsible, in a considerable way, for the manner in which the male character will be in relation with the feminine gender world. The three women which appear in the novel become the only guide marks in the protagonist's wandering. Every woman in the novel shows herself with a different personality which will determine a distinct erotic behavior.
