The three authors treated in this dissertation all indicate a moving away from a narration that uses shock and explicitness as a tool for social awareness, and toward a more understated approach in order to corrununicate similar truths in a more artistic fashion with less grand-standing and with a diminished emphasis on sexuality as it pertains specifically to a same-sex context.

Specifically, the moments in Adonis Garcia: el vampiro de la colonia Roma, En jirones and Siete noches junto al mar that deal with sex will show how these novels will progressively emphasize sexuality and gender roles rather than mere sex and eroticism.
Chapter two considers the kind of thematic mitigation seen in Zapata's novels in Jose Joaquin Blanca's Las puberes caneforas and Matame y veras. Blanco underscores how homophobia and violence whose support, sense of humor and patience!
