Homosexualidad y metaautores del teatro neoyorquino de García Lorca

Instead of allowing silence to repress them, some gay writers are currently opting to come out of the closet. Earlier eras witnessed timid attempts-for instance Federico García Lorca's New York works-in which homosexuality is displayed more explicitly than in his previous works. In these plays, Lorca uses three meta-authors to show off his sexual preoccupations: Perlimplín, the Youth, and the Director. The three characters share the strategy of presenting an author, like Lorca himself, inside the play with certain homosexual traits, shown as a projection of the empirical gay author's sexual dilemmas. One concludes that his biography, the turn towards more avant-garde attitude, and the displacement towards an opening or acceptance of his homosexuality, led him to a partial coming out of the closet. This is disguised in the homosexuality of the meta-authors, who are the protagonists of the plays written during his stay in America.
