| Summary: | This article examines Pablo Pérez’s work El mendigo chupapijas with the aim of studying his trash and queer aesthetic, focusing on his literary appropriation of sado-masochism and of the spaces associated with these practices. We observe Pérez’s account of a vagabond sexuality and the cruising in his writing, throughout which he encounters different sexual roles of power as well as a collage of diverse discursive genres which he seeks to include and adopt in his eclectic novel. We therefore seek to analyse the political dimensioning encompassed in this cultural intervention that Pérez produces, focusing on the representation the author offers of the struggle to affirm one’s identity.
