Adriana González Mateos (1961) is one of the most important Mexican writers in the last decades. Her relevance resides in her aesthetic value performed in Cuentos para ciclistas y jinetes y El lenguaje de las orquídeas (Tales for cyclists and riders, and The language of orchids). Thematically speaking, both works show the evasion of everyday life through eroticism and violence, which will be analyzed in this article. Particularly, we will be focused on her female characters: the teenagers (in their respective erotic initiation) and adult women (with their interpersonal problems), which are marked by the absence or free demon stration of eroticism. These issues are enriched with the skillful ability of the writer to create alternative or embedded stories, as well as the use of different symbols.References
