Abstract (EN):
This paper proposes a reflection on the complex, profound, and sometimes contradictory
issue of the causes and consequences of (self)isolation through the analysis of two books by
the Madrid-born author Sara Mesa (Madrid, 1976), who has become an essential reference in
contemporary Spanish narrative. Both novels are Cicatriz (2015) and Un amor (2020), whose plots
obsessively focus on the theme of loneliness, even if this is triggered by various circumstances and
reasons. Thus, starting from the dazzlement produced by the restless and disturbing voice of Sara
Mesa, a skilled creator of unusual and disconcerting psychological profiles, with this work we intend
to contribute to a critical delve into the author’s novels, although we are aware that theorizing about
the work of a young writer, at the height of her literary career, implies almost blindly transiting an
unexplored territory, but, precisely for that reason, full of possibilities.
