Abstract: In this article we analyse how Juan José Millás (1946- ) builds the female protagonist of his novel Que nadie duerma (2018). We explain (1) the meaning of limerence, and why Lucía is a limerence protagonist. (2) We also link the author's construction of the protagonist to the theory of hyperculturality formulated by the South Korean philosopher Byung-Chul Han (1959- ). (3) In addition, we consider the narrative mode of Que nadie duerma.
We conclude that this narrative shows the evasion of a woman –overwhelmed by the socioeconomic turbulences of the 21st century– in an imaginary universe. But this literary work is, above all, an aesthetic object, because complex internal connections are discovered among its narrative mode, vocabulary, plot and meaning.
